I am not a fan of American Wilds, but I think I like July Prince because it respects the fruit as much as it respects the brewing process. Too often, Wilds are about using Brett as an excuse for not being sensitive to the ingredients that go into the beer. I'm even going to offer up a theory as to why Carolina Bauernhaus is different: it is because it makes ciders and mead as well; so it respects fruit's flavors.
Wilds are rarely good-Lookers and this is only slightly above the average of that low standard. But Smells are a sweet improvement. Tastes are balanced, again the Brett is used to both check and augment the fruit in a controlled way. Finishes nicely dry, but I'd like more bubbles.
Aside from making cider and mead, Carolina Bauernhaus is distinctive in that only one of the three founders are brewers. One is an energy engineer and the other is an attorney specializing in law for brewers. That is interesting and makes for more than a well-rounded brewery. So, I give them some pretty good OA Hugs for all that complexity.

16.9oz bottle from Tasty Beverage Asheville.
Ommegang Anniversary glass. Dull, opaque, pale amber body; weak head.
Smells of familiar sour beer, acetone, canned peaches & apple cider vinegar.
Taste is a pleasant surprise. Moderate to bold sour that isn't teeth-clenching. Tart, sour peach, apricot & unidentified florals. Big hit of acid, lingering sour watermelon, eventually giving way to a subtle dry grain sweetness. Light varnish if you take it too slow. Thin, dry, moderate carbonation.
