Diploma Master Daniel Carey’s newest IPA, Wild Bitter is brewed with Wisconsin Malts, Yakima Citra and Sterling hops. Wild Bitter was aged for nine months in the brewery’s Wild Fruit Cave, dry hopped of Slovenian Savinjski, followed by spontaneous secondary fermentation and a final third fermentation in the bottle.

Bottle at home with jcnielsen, thanks to Adam. Murky yellow orange appearance with a foamy tan head. Aroma is quite herbal, fairly spicy, heavy funk, cheese, and herbs. A little rubber/plastic Brett notes in the mouth. Lightly tart. A touch chewy. Slightly alcoholic. Kinda interesting but the Brett isn’t on point.

Bottle shared by Felipe - thanks man! Pours very hazy golden, small off-white head, decent lacing. Aroma is oaky, loads of clean Brett; musty, no cheese here. Oranges, pine, light clove, floral notes. Flavor is light bitter, very light sweet, drying out fast, lightly funky; less than the nose would have you believe. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel. Brett done right. This was one I kept sampling off of as the night progressed and it ended up empty. This one obviously has some rater controversy around it, but I found it to be Good.

500 ’ml bottle thanks to AdamC. Hazy gold color with no head. Aroma is over ripe fruit and traces of funky yeast.
The profile does come off bitter and sour. At this point the hop profile has died. I’m thinking I would like this a lot more If the hops were still alive. It comes off just more funky and bitter. Strong bitterness without the hop flavors. Oh well.

Bottle from a trade in July. Split 5 ways at fridge temp.
A - A nice burnt golden orange a single finger head that faded fast
S - Smells tart in the aroma with just a little bit of peach and tropical fruits.
T - Very bitter up front and throughout the finish, a little close to astringent, older hops, a lot of bitterness, very little sour. almost maltier than sour the did a nice job crafting this one.
M - Insanely good mouthfeel, dense and thick and creamy.
O - Decent beer, you can taste the booze, it’s a nice mouthfeel but overall, a mis-matched high ABV, hoppy wild ale.

Poured from bottle 03/15 thanks AdamChandler hazy gold with a thin off white head. Aroma of funk citrus and spice. Taste is very sour with lingering hop notes and brett. Interesting but not my wheel house.

The taste is soft, juicy, tart, yet bitter, apricot, nectarine, sherbet, earth, funk, light lactic acid and some mustiness with a dry, earthy finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Medium body and fine carbonation. Unusual, but sort of works. Decent stuff.

Bottle shared in Canaan, NH. Big thanks to the Duke. Pours unclear orange-gold with a frothy white head. The nose has some grass, slight metal, lemon peel. Light-medium sweet flavor with pleasant brett funk, some ripening citrus, poo, slight tang. Light to medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Funky finish, some diaper, citrus. Tasty.
