04/24/20 Bottle from Wolf Brew in NC around the start of the new year. Short goblets at home. Quick-hitting, thin, dirty white head. Dirty, translucent, bubbly, dark red/brown body. Smells like a macerated sour brown ale. Nothing much identifying the extra ingredients. Taste is a sour brown with lots of lime zest & a twinge of pineapple juice. Vinegary & Jolly Pumpkin appropriately sour. First hit is well carbonated, turning to just a slight but constant fizz. Yeasty, but runny texture, alcohol is fine. Wanted more mai tai. A little messy as a basic sour. Expensive.

Draft. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of brett, wood, funk, and berries. The flavor is sweet with notes of brett, straw, berries, wood, and funk, leading to a tart finish.

Amber colour, with some haze, and a medium head. Fruity nose but kind of vague. A bit harsh and husky, too bitter. There’s a touch of sweetness from the pineapple that cuts in there, but it’s still an unbalanced, messy beer.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a cloudy dark copper amber with a small beige head. Aroma is very odd, with cardboard, pineapple and orange rind - weird. Flavour is pure cardboard, with subdued orange rind, lemon, and a hint of pineapple. Oaky, cardboardy finish. This is either past its prime or just way off the mark. Either way, bad.

02/01/2018 Real chunky boi. Tastes like a red ale + a pineapple sour. Interesante.

750 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 2/1/2018. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy deep golden/amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy/tart/tangy pineapples, lemon, lime, fruit skin, orange, grapefruit, citrus peel, peach, pear, mango, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, peppercorn, almond, coconut, oak, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, honey, brown sugar, and toasted bread; with light notes of oaken vanilla, leathery/musty funk, white wine vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, fruit, honey, sugars, oak barrel, bready malts, and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy/tart/tangy pineapples, lemon, lime, fruit skin, orange, grapefruit, citrus peel, peach, pear, mango, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, peppercorn, almond, coconut, oak, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, honey, brown sugar, and toasted bread; with light notes of oaken vanilla, leathery/musty funk, white wine vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tang/tartness; pine, herbal, floral, grassy, citrus peel bitterness; and yeast/oak tannin spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy pineapples, lemon, lime, fruit skin, orange, grapefruit, citrus peel, peach, pear, mango, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, peppercorn, almond, coconut, oak, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, honey, brown sugar, toasted bread, light leather/funk/vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness on the the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, fruit, honey, sugars, oak barrel, bready malts, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great malt, bitter, spicy, tart, tangy fruit balance; and no puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitter/spiciness, tart/tangy fruit, and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and fairly crisp/acidic/tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7.7%. Overall this is an excellent fruited sour/wild ale. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, fruit, honey, sugars, oak barrel, bready malts, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth, easy, and fairly crisp to drink; with the modestly acidic/tangy/tannic/drying finish. Not overly lactic. Really unique beer, but they still nailed it. Tastes like a Mai Tai as a wild ale. Awesome balance of classic JP house funky Brett/Bacteria complexity, pineapple, lime, almonds, citrus peel, honey, and sugars; nice oak barrel presence, earthy hops, and bready malts against acidity. A very enjoyable offering, and well made experimental style example as expected.
