Pours amber with a clear rose/red tint with a fluffy white head. Incredibly clear. Minimal lacing.
Funk, oak, slightly acidic, with a fruitiness on the nose. Oak comes out with additional warmth.
Taste follows along the nose, but in a different order -- I get a quick hit of fruit, followed quickly but a gentle funk that washes across the palate and brings with it a tartness that settles in across the tongue. There's a light earthiness that pervades the flavor, as if its the base upon which the rest of the flavors
Medium body, very dry with a playful carbonation. The tartness sticks around, leaving a slight pucker around the mouth.
This is a great wild ale. I think it sits at a beautiful crossroads -- it hits all the marks of what a wild ale wants to be, but doesn't venture too far down any of those paths and define itself as overly funky, or overly tart/sour, or any other characteristic. It's very approachable and easily enjoyable. I'm not a connoisseur of wild ales, but if I could find more balanced examples like Wild Raspy, I think I would be more interested in them.
