That's one beer-colored beer, too. What color is it? Beer color. If you had to say a specific color, what would you say? Copper with brown? Sure. How about that head? Umm... off white? Well, the smell I can at least tell you is interesting. It's sweet caramel, fruits, and a few scattered flowers. Nothing more to report at this time.First sip is not to my liking. I think it must be the "wild ale" part of this beer that is putting a funk and bit of sourness to it that I really find off-putting. It's odd, too, as the beginning of the beer had a lot of promise with the sweet caramel malt.
Tip-in is sweet malt and carbonation and a lot of effervescence on top with a sizzle down on the tongue. The middle moves into flowers up top and some citrus fruit on the bottom; the whole time, the caramel enjoys itself in the center of the mouth. The finish is where things go off the rails with a nutty bitterness, a funk, and an ever so slightly sour.
Bottom Line: Not terrible, but I'd be very reluctant to recommend it.
1.75/5
