750 ml bottle into tulip glass, 2018 vintage bottling. Pours slightly hazy pale golden straw color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin lace cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big sour/tart/tangy passion fruit, fruit skin, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, melon, papaya, berries, green apple, white wine, tequila, oak, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, and agave; with lighter notes of peppercorn, leathery/musty funk, white wine vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, passion fruit, tequila barrels, and light-moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big sour/tart/tangy passion fruit, fruit skin, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, melon, papaya, berries, green apple, white wine, tequila, oak, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, and agave; with lighter notes of peppercorn, leathery/musty funk, white wine vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. ight-moderate fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang; and light brett/oak tannin spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of sour/tart/tangy passion fruit, fruit skin, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, melon, papaya, berries, green apple, white wine, tequila, oak, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, agave, light pepper/funk/vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, passion fruit, tequila barrels, and light-moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with an awesome malt/tart/sourness, and tangy fruit balance; with no puckering flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately grainy/acidic/tangy, and lightly tannic balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 6.4%. Overall this is a fantastic fruited sour/wild ale! All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, passion fruit, tequila barrels, and light-moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and pretty refreshing to drink with the modestly acidic/tangy/drying finish, not overly lactic. Amazingly juicy fruit and well rounded Brett/bacteria complexity; nice tequila barrel presence, and solid pale/wheat malt backbone against acidity. A highly enjoyable offering, and spot on style example as expected.
