Flight pour at Steamworks Mt Pleasant. Pours clear blonde with white head. Aroma has punchy grape skins must and barrels. Flavour has a ton of musty grape skins, rough barrel character. The grape skins are really coming through, excellent beer.

Hazy light gold body and modest foam. Good tart sour funky grain aroma and noticeable muscat grapes. Taste is a great tart musty grape, funky grain, balanced and not too harsh. Ends a little thin which is sadly a little standard for beers like this. Still, working very well.

473mL can, pours a hazy dull golden blonde with a tiny white head. Nose is quite musty, with an intense amount of grape must upfront and lovely wild notes. Flavour is wonderfully sharp, with intense grape must, moderate-to-heavy funk in the horse blanket sense, and a touch of citric. There's a nice sharp acidity that hits the back of the throat, but is never overly bracing. Love the grape must character here - seems even more assertive than past grape must Changelings. Excellent.

Can pour at Weathered, pours a clear blonde with no head. Aroma brings out crisp Muscat grape, with light wild yeast. Flavour is along the same lines, with gentle grape skins and light wild yeast. Not much depth here but it's pleasant and well-constructed.

Cloudy, just a thin head. Big brett up front, soft body, light sweetness and a touch of fruity vinous stuff. Decent complexity. Just a touch of tartness. A good one. 2024 version has more fruit, better balance, and I'm upgrading to a 4.0 from 3.6

Draught at the brewery
Muscat changeling, 6 barrel aged wild ale with orange Muscat grape must Cloudy blond colour. Strong yeast aroma, a bit cheesy, and later some fresh fruit. Smooth mouthfeel, with light acidity, nice juicy character, a bit too dough-y though.
Very nice and interesting, but not perfectly clean.
