Eudemonia is a simple mixed fermentation ale in construct. Left to slumber for several years in French Oak with a host of both native and wild cultures, it emerges as an immensely delicate, delicious, complex offering. We taste and smell barnyard funk, lactic sourness, honey, delicate vinous character, and lemon-like acidity.
This beer is one of a kind, and it’s intended to be savored and enjoyed on a special occasion.

Poured gently from (what I assume) is a 16.9 oz bottle, since it doesn't say anywhere. Whatevs.
Pours a hazy orange gold color with a small, fluffy white head. The head dissipates quickly, leaving some sticky cobwebs of lace as it settles into a halo.
The aroma immediately brings to mind fresh pears and apple cider vinegar. There's a fair bit of citrus; namely lemon and tangerines. Grassy and earthy, with a mild hop presence. There's a touch of sweet vanilla and oak on the back with some subtle barnyard funk and yeasty esters. Wow. This is intricate and complex. If I close my eyes this could have been brewed in Greensboro Bend, Vermont.
The flavor is a bit more on the funky, yeasty side, bringing notes of hay, barnyard shenanigans, and esters. This one is modestly tart, balanced out by an earthy sweetness from the tangerine citrus and oak chips. Very rustic. Very earthy. Nice.
The feel is medium bodied with relatively soft carbonation. Not as lively or effervescent as one would like, but it's very smooth and easy to drink.
Overall, this is a great wild ale from a brewery that is hardly known for their wild beer. This is a wonderfully balanced ale, and it's very approachable with its lower ABV. Not the best I've had, but Tree House definitely needs to make these beers a regular part of their rotation going forward. They know how to brew more than pastry stouts and Haze bombs.
