Sea Change
Kane Brewing Company

25 oz. can. Oh yeah. No date, but I got it at the brewery in late October, 2019 and am drinking it maybe three weeks later. Poured into Aslin anniversary glass.

L: Big foamy head. Leaves spotty lace as it eventually dwindles but the retention is pretty good. Beer is a slightly hazy medium gold.

S: Brett yeast and grape must with underlying tropical and citrus notes. It's quite a combination.

T: A very weird combination of funky and clean. The brett isn't overpowering and the clean pineapple and mango notes come through, along with some lemon. It's like a combination of savignon blanc and pale ale.

F: Light bodied, medium carbonation. Very easy drinking, construction is superb and it is very well-balanced.

O: Not going to be for everyone, but this is a really decent accomplishment.

Pours a medium yellow color with 3 fingers of billowy white head. Has a funky aroma mixed with tropical fruit. Nice hoppy flavor, pretty soft and delicate, I get peach, mango, pineapple. Very smooth with a dry finish. Overall a fun beer.

Hazy orange with some copper highlights and big wisps of lacing from a head that doesn't fade. Notes of lemon, citrus rinds, funky stuff and bright tropical mango. Higher carbonation with a light body and a dry finish. This is my review fresh. It's about 2.5 months in the bottle and drinking great. Nice and different twist on a pale ale. I plan to revisit next summer with a year age to see how it changes.

Updating: drank one 4/10/16 with about 10 months on it. Super hazy apricot color, hazier than I recall. Taste notes changed to more of a stone fruit, light pepper, brine and orange. Definitely different and remarkable. Mouthfeel was less carbonated, still light and refreshing with a creamier body and still very dry. Overall I think it improved with age, the funk dropped out of it.

750 mL bottle poured into a snifter. Hazy bright orange. Big white head. Very tropical aroma. Tropical hops and brett. Tastes equally tropical. Brett cuts the sweet aspect with leaves a little bitterness and a dry finish. Medium light body. High carbonation. I like that this isn't very bitter, Brett complements the tropical flavors nicely.

Another good one by Kane! A unique pale ale with interesting flavors...

 

 

 

 

 

Great rendition of a pale ale. Since the brett flavors fall into a citrus range its tough to tell what comes from yeast and what comes from the hops, but there is definitely a noticeable tropical fruit element. Nose was great but slightly muted (I may have served too cold). Tons of yeast in it though, pour carefully.
