It’s fresh, floral and funky - with notes of apricot, grapefruit and fresh grass - lightweight at only 5% ABV, and comes served in a 16oz bright-orange can. Blurring the line between beer and wine, it’s a perfect summer crusher for those looking for distinctive flavor and experience.
The 7000 label art, designed in collaboration with Mike Van Hall (@opprobriations), is a punchy reflection of Bronson's corresponding album of the same name.
With an equally unconventional approach to life, work and art, (and a mutual appreciation for super-natural wines and terpy dabs) Brian and Action make an excellent synergetic match. As fate would have it, they met a few years ago as neighbors and that’s where the story began. This beer is a culmination of many creative sessions and studio hangs - born of their desire to produce something equally unique and exciting.

A thanks to the commander of the canquest, woodychandler, for this beer. Poured from a 16 oz. can. Has a bright yellow color with a 2 inch head. Smell is of oranges, sour grapes. Taste is extremely tart, light oranges, lemons. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a decent beer.

I got a late start on this past Sunday's NBS (Week 774) & I did not finish up my DelMarVa (+ DC) adventure as planned. 8=( Further, I have promised that next week's NBS (Week 775) will be dedicated to the wonderful beers sent to me by @jkblr who seems to have a real handle on my drinking habits. CANsparency is key in these things! As a result, I am going to CANcentrate over the next few days on eradicating everything that would have CANbined to form the finale of the DelMarVa (+ DC) adventure. Sit down, strap in & hang on. It's gonna be a wild ride!
Speaking of Wild, thanks to staying with BAL & MD, I now have CANother AmeriCAN Wild Ale as my next beer! If this keeps up, I'm going to get my status as a hophead in good standing revoked! 8=(
From the CAN: "Dry Hopped Sour Ale with Muscat Grapes".
I took a short break to regroup after that previous one, but having returned, it was now time for a Crack! of the vent & a slow, gentle C-Line Glug to CANtinue the day's CANebration. This one acted more as expected, foaming forth with two-plus fingers of fizzy, foamy, rocky, bone-white head with very limited retention, quickly falling away to wisps. Color was a deeply-hazy/lightly-cloudy Straw-Yellow (SRM = > 2, < 4). Nose was MUCH less pungent than on the previous one, actually allowing me to lean in for a sniff without burning off my eyebrows! It had a lemony citrusiness along with a sour grape vinousness. 8=O I was reminded of one of my home vintner maternal uncle's lesser-lights. Hmm. Mouthfeel was thin-to-medium, not watery, but not much past it, either. The puckering tartness took 'hold almost immediately, seizing up my lips like I had drank liquid alum! Whew. The taste was like a really tart lemonade with grape juice! That is probably not the best description, but since I am not well-versed in the verbiage of the style, you will have to make allowances. Frankly, I liked this one a LOT more in spite of its intense tartness. It actually beCAN to take on a jamminess as I drank it with the grape beCANming sweeter & deeper, almost overtaking the tartness. Finish was dry & it put me in mind of a dry white wine. I should look up Muscat grapes, but it really would not have any bearing on my perception. Hmm. YMMV.

This beer is what I love about Stillwater. I wish they would go back to more beers like this (creative sours, wilds, saisons) and stop putting out one NEIPA after another. This beer is distinctly a Stillwater beer and has everything I like about their style - it's tart, fruity, easy drinking, and most of all has a perfect balance of nuanced flavors. The grapes compliment the beer excellently. yb

Can from Orenco Taphouse.
A mildly hazy light orange with a dense, white head that falls off rapidly leaving little lacing, this looks solid. The nose has a wonderful dry hopped character with a tart and juicy grape character, all complemented with a lactic sour nose. Lemony and orange heavy with a fruity, mildly melony, mildly mineral like grape character, on a mildly wheat and straw like malt base with some lactic sourness. The palate opens tart with lactic acid, more yogurt like than meaty, along with a mild lemon and preserved lime note. There's dry hop flavors of citrus and orange blossom along with a noticeable vinous note. Very dry and moderately mineraly with honey, melon and stone fruit, the Muscat flavor is very fruit-heavy here. The mouthfeel is where this beer lacks a little, with a slightly watery character. Otherwise, this beer is excellent.

Not really my cup of tea - too sour and tart, though admittedly I’m not into this style of beer. Looks fantastic - slightly hazy golden-yellow color with abundant white fluffy head and some spotty lingering lacing. Smells mainly of slightly tart, overly sweet mango, tangerine and orange. Some malt in there as well. Taste follows the nose, but the dominating sourness and tartness was just too much for me. Thin mild mouthfeel, good carbonation. Just not for me.
