St. Bretta (Summer) Citrus Wildbier Batch 3 Tango Mandarin
Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project

 

 

 

 

Hazy, bright yellow color with pillowy, white head. Aroma is really brett forward with citrus fruits and floral yeast esters. Taste starts yeasty and fruity, with a bit of tartness. Body is medium, quite smooth and has a high effervescence. Overall it's a really nice beer, mostly yeast forward but you also get a nice citrusy fruitiness.

 

 

 

 

 

375ml bottle served cold in a wine glass.

Appearance: very Pale gold with a rocky head. Slight chill haze and some sediment

Nose: tropical fruit, some funk, lemony, fruity and some Malt

Taste: very fruity, very light funk, tropical, mildly tart, highly carbonated, apple, oranges, lemon and other fru its

Overall: I was very impressed with this beer from CS. I expected something more tart or sour but was pleasantly surprised that it is only mildly tart. Delicious.

12.7oz bottle. Cloudy straw hue. Tart blood orange and oak nose and flavor. Tangy with a touch of funk & earthiness. Med to full body.

 

This should be interesting. 375 ml bottle into a tulip glass.

A - A hazy yellow-orange with a bright white head. After about 2 minutes the head mostly disappears and leaves a thin film on top. Meh..

N - Plenty of funk, and a wheat-y tartness. Smells more like a saison to me, which is no issue for me. I get sweet citrus in there too.

T - Oooo, this is perfect. Just the right amount of tartness. I get a mild hoppiness on the finish, but otherwise it's 100% tart citrus. Very impressive.

M - This is everywhere right away. It's actually fairly low on the carbonation, but it works perfectly with the tartness. This is an extremely well-crafted brew.

O - Another winner from Crooked Stave. I enjoyed this immensely.

 

 

Poured a somewhat cloudy, straw yellow color with a small, white head of foam. It smelled phenolic, yeasty and citrusy. Nice funky flavor with sharp citrus tanginess and toasted caramel sweetness.
