Wild Wild Brett is a series of R&D beers created to showcase the versatility of Brettanomyces, a yeast found naturally all over the world. Historically considered ”wild yeast”, Brett is responsible for 100% of the fermentation in the bottle you hold. This third installment of the series which incorporates honey, turmeric, mango and spices was inspired by the savory sweet combinations found in Southern Indian cuisine. Yellow pours a golden hue delivering tropical fruit aromas mixed with a medley of spice, earthy citrus flavors and a dry tart finish.

Tap at Rackhouse - hazy yellow pour - tangy aroma, with a lot of lemony Brett notes, a bit of spice and quite a bit of mango, which somewhat compliments the mildly musky Brett notes - flavor is quite light - moderately tart, quite a bit of lemon which is accompanied by very light tropical Brett notes - a slight touch of acetic acidity in the back, followed by a somewhat dull, earthy yeastiness - not bad, but kind of thin - reminds me of a watered down Cuvee de Castleton.

Bottle @ home. Somewhat cloudy, brownish golden appearance with a small white head. Fairly spicy, light coriander (hmmm, not exactly sure how Indian coriander differs from other coriander), lightly tart, lemon/tangerine/mango, a touch peppery aroma. Mild pineapple bretty tartness in the flavor along with a moderate peppery, coriander spiciness and lemon/mango citrus fruitiness. Maybe my least favorite of the WWB’s thus far but it’s still enjoyable and fun to drink. Actually, kind of seems have low carbonation and little head retention. I don’t remember noting issues with low carbonation with the previous WWB, though WWBR did have some issues with overcarbonation. Update: The second bottle I opened gushed and completely foamed up. I enjoyed this one a fair amount more the second time around. The finish seemed more tart and was overall more refreshing. Not sure why this whole series isn’t classified as wild ales.
