“A spontaneous wild ale aged in oak barrels with late harvest muscat grapes.”

Glassware: Stemmed Tulip.

Appearance: Light straw gold with a soft haze. It doesn’t produce much head with the remaining foam retreating to the rim. Frosty lace clings to the glass as it ebbs.

Aroma: Displaying that hallmark tart lemon along with punchy notes of wet pine, lime juice, floral perfumes and sour green apple. The muscat grapes are a very interesting (and clever) addition to this ale as it imparts a certain touch of exotic fruit like passion fruit and lychee. Minimal barrel character coming through but hey when there’s this much happening already it doesn’t matter!

Flavour: It opens with a short and sharp burst of acetic lemon, lacto funk and vinous fruits. More zesty notes of lime juice and pomelo carry it across the mid palate. Faint floral undertones and the distinct muscat grapes deliver a fruity finish with subtle dryness and musty barrel characters in the tail.

Mouthfeel: Light and crisp with a champagne sparkle. Acidity is mild-medium. Some tartness to it.

Overall: A very impressive wild ale, certainly leaning more towards a lacto tartness than a bretty/pedio funk. The addition of muscat grapes was well polished and the drink-ability must also cop a mention. Our first crack at this brewery and we like!
