Wilder Billy 2

Wild, sour, floral, and quite unusual – Wilder Billy 2 combines Berlin's sour beer tradition with modern craft beer aromas.

For Wilder Billy 2, Berliner Schneeeule teamed up with FUERST WIACEK. The result is a wild-fermented sour beer where Schneeeule's characteristic acidity and funky character meet modern hop aromas and a very special ingredient: rose petals.

The result is anything but ordinary. Fresh citrus aromas meet floral notes, a lively acidity, and the typical wild character of the Berlin sour beer scene.

Taste Profile

In the glass, Wilder Billy 2 presents itself as fresh, tart, and distinctly aromatic.

On the nose, floral rose aromas meet lime and grapefruit. This is complemented by the slightly wild, funky notes of fermentation, which give the beer considerable character.

On the palate, a distinct acidity provides freshness, while the rose petals introduce an unusual floral layer. Citrus and hops simultaneously prevent the whole thing from veering towards a perfume shop.

A beer with edges, corners, and a lot of its own life – exactly what you can expect from Schneeeule.

Pairs with

Thanks to its acidity and floral notes, Wilder Billy 2 works excellently as an aperitif.

With food, light Asian dishes, spicy salads, goat cheese, or fresh seafood pair quite well. The beer should also be enjoyable with dishes featuring citrus, herbs, or a touch of spice.

Or simply drink it solo – because this bottle certainly won't be boring.

Our Verdict

Wilder Billy 2 is Berlin wild beer for the advanced – and that's precisely why it's exciting.

Schneeeule's wild sour beer world meets FUERST WIACEK's modern craft beer signature and gets a rather idiosyncratic twist with rose petals.

Sour, funky, citrusy, and floral – not a beer for someone who just wanted a Helles. But a rather beautiful discovery for anyone who likes to take a left turn when it comes to beer.
