Commercial Description:
This is a beer that will make you rethink your definition of beer. It doesn’t taste like any beer you’ve ever had, yet it doesn’t taste like anything else either. Pushing the limits of brewing is what makes this job so much fun. Malted barley, wild yeast, hand picked Muscat Grapes, and French oak wine barrels are just a few of the things that went into crafting this beer. Breathe deep, take a long sip, and enjoy the creation in your hand.

Shared at Wild the Wild Beers Are 2009. The aroma is funk, sour lemon, leather, spicy. the appearance is a hazy yellow, white head. The flvor is a tart peach, other citrus, sweet. The finish is like tart fruit candy. Very enjoyable.

Slightly cloudy golden yellow ale. Raw yeasty aroma with sourness from the wild addition.

To celebrate my 300th sour rating. Hazy yellow with a white short lasting head. Aroma was somewhat fruity and tart with notes of barnyard, lemons, brett and lacto. Flavour was sour and had brett, lacto, grapefruits, barnyard and wood. Finished sour. Lovely.

750 ml bottle - batch #2; thanks BVC; pours super cloudy straw gold; thin white head lingers; texture is perfect - soft, fruity with mild zing on the lips; nothing too aggressive here as this is a complex, subtle sour;white grapes, white wine and sweetness from the barrel; a touch of spice and bretty dryness; I really enjoyed this and my top one in this night of sours; a delight to savor and drink

What should have been my 1300 thanks to BMan1113VR. Batch 3 from July. Pours a cloudy translucent color that looks like unpasteurized apple cider. No real head to speak of. Nose: canned pineapple, apple cider, passion fruits, wildflower honey, violets, white pepper and a little bit of yarn (horseblanket maybe?) Taste is pretzels, unnamed citrus fruits, violets, a little bit of wild flavor, sweet and sour sauce (light), and a bit of oak. Mouthfeel is acidic, carbonated, not extremely lively but large bubbles caress your palate like a sparkling wine. very enjoyable.

Batch 3 thanks to dchmela. Pours with a hazy golden body with a small white head that reverts to a ring quickly. Aroma is awesome and complex with honeysuckle, mango, peach, exotic fruits, tang, and passion fruit. Taste is tart, acidic with sour peaches and a slight spicy bitterness that I can’t explain (and I think will mellow with time). I get a bit of grape vinousness, tannins, florals and fresh apricot. Acidic mouthfeel with large and sharp bubbles. Would be amazingly awesome in another in another year or two!

Bottle Batch #3 @ WTF OMG! Poured a hazy yellow. Nose is white wine, grapey, some spice, sharp sourness, funky. Flavor is mild blend of wine, vinegar, young fruits and lactic sourness. Mild funk. Young, but great!

Bottle batch 3 Pours out a cloudy yellow topped with a small head. Aroma was of spice, oak, and some berries. Taste light oak, some citrus tart and the berries showing threw. Thanks Sam.
