Collaboration with The Wild Shack.
Missing Link, a 6.0% abv sour ale brewed with Indian long peppers, aged in a Syrah red wine barrel for eight months, then refermented with a generous amount of nectarines (leaving in a small percentage of the nectarine pits) for several additional months.
Pours golden like the flesh of a nectarine and capped with a bright white head. A delicate nose of stone fruit with a subtle hint of the Indian long pepper. Further aromatics include citrus, hay, oak and funk. The flavour is fresh and juicy nectarines, nectarine pits, lemony/tangerine citrus and vanilla up front with a zesty, earthy finish. The oak aging gives the palate a soft texture with a full rounded body. The light acidity, dryness and effervescence leaves a tingly carbonation with each sip, bringing you back for more

Bottle from the brewery. Pours a hazy orange with a large white head. Very tart lactic Aroma. Soft stone fruit, up front oak, hints if vanilla and some tropical fruit. Lovely carb, bright, crisp mouth feel. Very tart, bordering on sour finish, with low bitterness. The oak mingles well with the stone fruit and emparts a light white wine character. Complex, and quite nice.

375ml bottle (thx, Brian C.!) at Ash's. Pours a hazy blonde with a white head. The aroma is very nice with lots of barrel and spices notes. Reminds me Burdock Barrel 24. The taste is quite dry (not sweet like Barrel 24) with lots of barrel and moderately acidic. Very nice.

Bottle: Poured a clear golden color ale with a large pure white foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of tart notes with some funky yeast notes and light tangerine notes. Taste is a nice mix of sour notes with light fruity tangerine notes, light oak with some acidic notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable but acidity is maybe tad too high which limits drinkability.
