375ml cellared bottle poured into a stemmed Night Shift white wine teku.

The color is an interesting hybrid of cranberry and rose/blush and takes on a more golden color when you hold it up to the light. A fizzy, bubbly bone white head forms and looks to quickly dissipate but winds up sticking around throughout. Sticking with the interesting theme, the nose is unique in that it's fruity and funky, but it's hard to pinpoint just what those scents are. I get multiple berries - strawberry for sure but also those cranberries again - and the barest hint of acetone, which I'm super-sensitive to. That sticks around in the taste, but is thankfully masked by tart berries and some barnyard, but the body is very thin. Overall a nicely-crafted wild that manages to deliver on both tartness, sweet fruit, and funk, albeit in a restrained manner. Solid, not otherworldly.

 

 

 

Seriously delicious. Enjoyed at Saraveza this past weekend. Great jammy strawberries and pretty sour. Great beer for a warm day.

This batch was the best strawberry wild ale that I've had!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pour is a slightly hazed orangish yellow with a thin white ring. Nose has a fair but of vinegar, faint strawberry, some light oak and vanilla with a touch of musk. Taste is light, strawberry and some oaky barrel. Mushroom funk and fairly tart with a light sour finish and low carbonation.
