Brewed with 6 row malted barley, raw wheat, Saaz hops, Strisselspalt hops, water and yeast.
Appearance: As soon as poured this, I noticed that this beer was incredibly carbonated in the body, reminding me a bit of a stout that changes its appearance as the beer is poured.. but as a golden-coloured ale with a hint of amber hue to it. Thick amount of yellowish/beige head on top - stays for quite a while but diminishes so slightly to leave behind a bit of lacing.
Aroma: Wild yeasty goodness right from the first sniff. The beer is sour, funky and sweet. Notes of barnyard, lemon, a bit of grassiness and a bit of graininess. If you like sour-forward Saisons/Farmhouse Ales, you'll definitely like this one. Notes of bubble gum at the very end.
Taste: Incredibly sour the instant it hits the lips, it's a very lemon-forward sourness with a moderate note of oaky woodiness to it. Somehow fairly sweet with a bit of bubble gum in it. Barnyard funk pops up yet again, leaving behind a slight Sour Patch Kids aftertaste at the very end. As it warms up a bit, the notes of the 6 malt barley pop out to give it a bit of a graininess to it.
Overall Thoughts: When I bought this, I didn't know what to expect from this beer - it turned out to be a sour yet somewhat sweet Bière de Garde. Lots of funk in there but quite enjoyable. At 5.8% ABV, it's not boozy but it does help warm up the body a bit.
