There are different tellings of the Legend of the Wild One®, much like the beer that bears its name. Brewed with wild yeast, this sour brown ale is aged in wooden wine foeders for up to eight months, and then aged again with raspberries, giving it an additional layer of tart and fragrant flavors.
A secondary fermentation with raspberries adds distinctive raspberry aroma and flavor and another, subtle layer of tartness.

Draft. A red beer with a pinkish head. The aroma is dominated by raspberries on a malty background. The flavor is sweet with notes of raspberries, malt, and citrus fruits, leading to a bitter finish.

On tap at Sabatini’s Bottleshop in Exeter, PA. It pours a reddish amber color with a pinkish off white head. The aroma has strong notes of raspberry, both sweet and tart. Very fresh and authentic. Not too funky. The flavor is the same. Strong raspberry character dominates with some nice light toasted malt underneath. Very sour and clean. It has a substantial body, but not sweet. Awesome fruit character. Loved this one.
