This might have been my favorite beer of the entire day at the Strange Brew Festival held on May 18, 2019. Was a strawberry rhubarb wild ale.

Pours a hearty red ale like appearance, whether the color is due to the malt or the fruit moreso remains to be seen. Thinner 1/3" off white head. Enjoyable rhubarb nose, didn't allow the strawberry to push it around. Seems clean funk wise in terms of the aroma.

Taste keeps on banging on the good side. Nice tart notes with an underpinning of strawberry flesh and sweetness. Rhubarb hitting good, really lends itself to a wild ale that blend of bitter tart and sour. Body is relatively light and inoffensive, they went with a marzen blended with the blonde ale body, nothing to sticky or heavy to it. Carbonation on point. The marzen amber malt tones work really well with these fruits and light woody notes from a barrel I presume.

This is pretty good beer, one for the taste alone, but two, they made a unique body to pair with a fruit combo that is relatively traditional in this genre of beers. Well done, Sudwerk is finally branching out beyond lagers and they're doing a good job at it.
