A mixed culture sour fermented in French oak for a year, then matured on top of handpicked locally sourced apricots from Folded Hills Farms and Second use (spent) Strawberries from Crooked Sky Farms. Naturally conditioned in the bottle it has a balanced tartness with effervescence of strawberry and apricot.

Here's a review from Christmas 2023. Leftpaw brought it out. I'm always stuck between Wren House or AZ Wilderness for my favorite in the state. Anyways, adding it to this Next Glass owned database here well over a year later.
Pours a golden color with light amber influence. Doesn't hold much of a head. But good clarity. Nice aroma, that french oak white wine like influence upside some clean strawberry. Still looking in amazement out of the clarity despite a messy fruit and barrel-age.
The taste and mouthfeel reveals an enhanced sense of acidity and burnage. 8.3% wild ales with apricot will do that. Its not Cascade apricot battery terminal cleaning levels, but its up there, apricots bring more to the mouthfeel than the taste here. Strawberry is the leading fruit taste wise. That's about it in summation, good strawberry, acidic apricot, high abv tandem afterburners. I'm not sure if it was the first wild ale I've had from them, but while good, I prefer that picketpost lager thus far.
