There And Back Again is a tale of a spontaneous fermentation, isolation, confiscation, rejuvenation, mutation, and finally perturbation. This sour American Wild Ale, is a collaborative effort with our dear friend Dr. Jason Rodriguez. We took our house “honey badger” mixed culture (no saccharomyces) and allowed it ferment over several months before dry hopping it with a touch of citra and galaxy. It pours a hazy golden yellow releasing bright notes of pink grapefruit, lemon, pineapple, and passion fruit. It tastes sour and juicy with similar notes as the smell. This small batch was split and the other half is currently refermenting on apricots and peaches.

Bottle thanks to Kyle. Pours gold with medium white head that lasts. The aroma is strong tropical fruit and cereal wheat. Thin body, mango, melon, grapefruit, nice tartness, light funk, very good.

Draught at Ginger Man, 6/18/18.
Clear copper. No head.
Strawberry-raspberry. Spicebox, wood, mandarin. Juicy, earthy, dry, nice. Acetic peach skin, lotta acid but honeyish malts too. Very sweet and sour.
Dry, sour, apricot flavor skin, peachy skin and pit, light acetic but tart and not biting. Soft texture, great suppleness though quite dry. Tight carbonation. Very nice and unique. Bit of petrol like character at times though it's super light.

Keg at HL3, 22/06/18. Hazed golden with a decent off white cap. Nose is tangy citric peel, pissy green berry snap, balsamic exhaust, dirty fruit skins, sour as. Taste comprises sharp fruit wax, apple core, vinegar strokes, bracing acidity. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close with a puckering climax. Overcooked on the acid front and lacking balance.

Tap. Little Leeds Beer House. Hazed, pale gold. Thin white foam. Nose has pickle water. Hair spray. Some undetermined as yet, fruit. Taste is sour and vinegary. Some acidity on the palate. Light carbonation. Sour and vinegary finish. Either I’m missing something, or this is a bit wonky.
