A: Pours a clear golden orange with a compact, creamy white head. Head retention is surprising, since the head is not all that large. A moderate amound of white lace is left on the sides of the glass once the head settles.

S: Aromas of must, unripened pineapple, carambola, sea salt, cedar, unripened grapes, cider apples, oak, mango, and papaya fill the nose, in addition to the expected lactic yeast aroma. This smells surprisingly fruity for a wild ale.

T: Notes of unripened grapes, unripened pears, cider apples, papaya, mango, unripened pineapple, cedar, oak, sea salt, vinegar, cream, grass, straw, herbs, and biscuit wash across the palate. The finish is sour, dry, and quenching with robust flavors of unripened fruits, cedar, oak, grass, straw, and biscuit.

M: On the lighter side of medium, chalky, and very dry. Carbonation is quite firm, but not really intense. Very drinkable, and this installment of Mikkeller's Yeast Series 2.0 feels quite a bit more substantial in the mouth than the bottle of English-style I sampled earlier this month.

O: I rather like this beer. The sour, lactic, oaky wild yeast aromas and flavors aren't overpowering. Instead, they're very well-integrated, meaning that instead of assaulting you with sour funk, this beer allows one to really savor everything it has to offer. Skillfully crafted, surprisingly refined, and very approachable, I would recommend this ale to fans of sours or those looking to get into them.

Nice big foamy head. A lot of the brettanomyces barnyard funk in the smell, very nice. The taste is dry and acidic. I was looking for some more sweet tartness. Got a weird aftertaste. Meh

Hazy orange color. Nice head retention with sticky lacing. Hoppy, citric aroma. Funky with lots of Brett in the nose. Base flavor of stale rye bread. Brett funk hits full force and leaves a nasty staleness behind. Spiciness from the hops is over-shadowed by the funk. Medium bodied with a coarse, sandy texture. Even bit down on a couple crunchy chunks of residue. Overall, nice idea but the execution was poor.

Lovely texture in the mouth with strong, pleasant papaya flavour and a subtle sweet milkiness with a hint of butterscotch. The aroma was addictive and lent a lot of enjoyment to the experience. Delicately balanced. Would definitely order this again. :)
