We’re one year old! Let’s celebrate with some cake. Sort of. To celebrate, we made our take on the pineapple upside-down cake (since we tend to be a bit upside-down ourselves). The speed-soured wild ale was brewed with pineapple puree, vanilla beans, and lactose and then aged on french oak to add in some delicious bourbon notes.

Offered at the Wild Mind 1st anniversary party, 750ml dark, brown bottle. Bottle label states: "We made our take on the pineapple upside-down cake. The Imperial Sour Wild Ale was brewed with pineapple puree, vanilla beans, and lactose and then aged on French Oak to add in some delicious Bourbon notes."
Color is murky reddish brown. Very attractive. No head retention.
Smell is a mélange of fruit, vanilla/sweet, barrel aged oak/bourbon.
Taste is tart and dry, mixing in the fruit, vanilla, and lactose, with the barrel note. Quite delicious.
Mouth feel is medium, and follows the lines of the smell and taste, no distraction.
Overall, a pleasure to drink, but not overly sour or complex. Congratulations to Wild Mind for its First Anniversary.
