Heavy Weather
Wilderness Brewery

really cool brett pale here, thanks to my buddy for procuring and sharing this, along with a couple of other gems from this under the radar brewery that seems to be doing some incredible fermentation forward stuff. the beer is ready to come out of the can when we pop it, foaming over a little bit. its got a nice golden color to it, a little haze and its very vigorously carbonated, yielding a puffy airy white head several inches tall. the nose here is funky as can be, this might be entirely brett fermented, the can says brett q, which i had to look up to learn is a type of brett brux, its farmy and strong, really appealing with the modern hopping and simple but present grain base. the brett has hints of berries and tea to me, along with its usual rustic wildness, while the hops hit on clean citrus, melon, and papaya, this comes across as quite summery and tropical then, very dry, lots of funk. just a tiny pop of acidity at the end helps it finish quick, its rather dry, and the hops have just enough bitterness to give it some snap there too. citra, sabro, and palisade, a unique combination, al of which seem to pair gloriously with this brett strain. there is a slight cheesiness to the ferment, a youngness too, slightly vinous, but not everything can be some slow wood ferment and i dont mind it, sometimes quicker brett can be cool too, like it is here. quality overall beer here that has really cranked my intrigue about these guys!
