Volume 1: Let There Be Wunder!
Wunderkammer Bier

 

 

 

 

Reviewed from notes. This was poured into a tulip. The appearance was a semi-hazy sharp burnt orange color with a light muddy tone to it. Graced by a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated evenly leaving some light stringy glossy lace. The aroma starts off funky/cheesy/barnyard grassiness. But gently opens up into some strawberry sweetness and fresh piney/sumac. Nice, but odd how it goes from one extreme to another. The flavor brings about the sweetness of the cheesy/barnyard grassiness, lets the funk delve into the sweetness of the strawberry and gracefully allows that fresh piney/sumac woody sweet to bitter edge aim to balance nicely. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a sly crisp sessionable to sipping quality about it. Mild carbonation. Soft dryness gripping my tongue. Seems to want to stick. Overall, this says sour/wild ale and that’s what I believe this to be.

Poured into a teku glass. Beautiful reddish, pink color, well filtered - like a darker rose. Smell is like a very light cranberry apple juice. The taste is fairly short, meaning that it doesn't linger, but the beer has a very refreshing and brief tartness. Simply a nice beer and interesting to see the result of some of these side projects coming out of Hill Farmstead.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Very tasty and tart with nice understated funk. Love it!!

 

375ml bottle served in a HF tulip. Pours a bright reddish-pink hue with a hazy clarity and a fizzy, half-inch, pink tinged head that lightly sizzles and slowly dissipates. Copious tiny bubbles are seen adhering to the bowl of the glass and effervescing in-solution. Nose expresses a big yeasty character, followed by acidic notes. Taste consistent with nose; however, a pleasant lemony tartness is also revealed in the flavor profile. Mouthfeel is light in body with a pleasant, even carbonation and a refreshing acidity slightly more assertive than one would find in a Gose. Overall, pretty tasty but not particularly funky or wild. Nicely done nonetheless.
