Epic by name, epic by nature, this Farmhouse Ale is a transcontinental fusion of Belgium’s eclectic beer culture and the feisty hops of North America brought to life with the aid of West Country artisanal brewing wizardry and judicious use of the US-grown Sorachi Ace hop.

Bottle 33cl. Cloudy honey yellow. Small white head. Stays as as a thin layer on beer surface. Aroma: ripe sourish fruit, white bread, spicy yeast, spicy hops. Pepper, dill. Really different. Dry taste. Restrained maltiness. Yeast and hops leading. Spicy. Lightly grassy. Light to medium bitterness. Interesting and very enjoyable.

Bottle from the Architect, Cambridge. Light yellow, hazy, well-carbonated. A nice combination of spicy saison yeast and more sour yeasty notes. Taste is bready and spicy, with coriander notes. Incredibly short finish. The carbonation dominates the mouthfeel. It’s a lovely beer in a way, but it lacks the intensity of so many of Wild Beer’s best efforts. Refreshing more than engaging.

Ein weiterer Hopfentrunk aus dem Hause Wild Beer, das sich gerne mittels Crowd-funding finanziert. Dieses Saison basiert auf einem belgischen Witbier. Neben der hauseigenen Brettanomyces-Hefe (die auch diesem Bier den farmhouse-Stil geben) kommt amerikanischer Sorachi Ace Hopfen zu Anwendung. Und das Bier fängt wirklich wie ein belgisches Abteibier mit gut ausbalancierten Gewürz- und Orange-Noten an, aber dabei bleibt es nicht lange: Schnell übernimmt der amerikanische Aromahopfen das Ruder, welcher schnell an ein IPA erinnert. Der herbe Geschmack wird aber gut durch den Witbiergeschmack aufgefangen und in diesen gut eingebettet. Besonders im Abgang merkt man das Spiel zwischen Abteibier-Noten und Hopfenbittere. Auch dieses Bier wollte ich nicht, wie auf der Flasche und der homepage empfohlen, lange lagern, da ich nicht wusste, wie lange das Bier schon im Geschäft "gereift" ist. Auf jeden Fall einen Test wert, besonders für Leute, die belgische Biere und amerikanischen Hopfen haben.

A remarkably flavoursome beer. A nice, thirst quenching spiciness that sat nicely alongside the hops. It wasn’t a session beer because of the richness and the strong mouthfeel, but still very good.

Fra fat på Cirkus, Stavanger (Wild Beer krankupp) aug-16: gylden med fint skum. Behagelig men litt beskjeden duft av høy, krydder, gjær/brett og frukt. Frisk og funky sma med citrus, malt, dill og gjær. Halvtørr og samtidig ganske myk. Fin bitterhet gjorde at glasset fort ble tomt.
