Fairly crisp finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering tartness, fruit/hibiscus tang, and yeast/oak spiciness after the finish. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/grainy, and acidic/tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 7.1%. Overall this is an excellent fruited/spiced sour/wild ale. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of strawberry, rose, hibiscus, fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast, oak barrels, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/refreshing to drink with the modestly acidic/tangy/tannic/drying finish; not overly lactic. Great balance of juicy fruit/hibiscus, and Brett/Bacteria complexity; with great oak presence, and pale/wheat malts against acidity. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp acidic/tangy dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressively well made style example as expected. No complaints.
