What’s this “Changeling” all about then?
Well, its kettle soured, like a Berliner Weisse. (We turn the “lactic acid dial” up a few notches on the base beer, so it’s nice & pucker).
Then, as the name would suggest, we change the fruit we ferment it with.

Thanks to Kump for sending 1L swing-top my way. I've never heard of Brassneck, but I'm always interested in trying new wild ales from Canada. Served in a tulip.
A - A finger of off-white foam noisily settles to pretty much nothing; very soda-esque. Murky peach juice body.
S - Smells like tart peach flesh, lactic acidity, a bit of of wheat, and some mild funkiness. Peach intensifies and sweeten as the beer warms. Quite nice.
T - The taste isn't quite as excellent as the aroma. There's plenty of the aforementioned lactic acidity, but the fruit sweetness doesn't shine through as much. There's a hint of diacetyl in the wheat-heavy finish, but it doesn't detract much from the overall enjoyment.
M - Very fizzy, with very zesty and aggressive carbonation. Not offensive for the style, but a bit higher than I tend to prefer. Grainy texture, with an exceptionally dry finish. I would have guessed this was aged in oak, but I'm under the impression it's merely kettle soured. Medium body that seems about right for the listed ABV.
D - Really enjoyable and easy to drink beer - wouldn't have guessed it's 6% either. Will have to keep an eye out for future offerings from Brassneck.
