22 oz bottle at Eugene’s farewell tasting. Cloudy golden orange with a thin film head. Wild aroma with lemon citrus. Flavor is cool, and refreshing, with gentle hops and a modest brett. Pineapple hints. Not quite fresh, but held up very well. Good stuff.

22 oz. bottle, pours a hazy bronze with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out earthy notes, spicy rye, and cereal notes. Flavour is fruity, earthy and spicy, with bready malt, rye, and a touch of tropical fruitiness. Medium complexity, with a fruity, spicy, earthy finish. Not exactly my thing - seems a bit off, but nonetheless decent.

I think this came out in early November and I purchased in late February. Ordinarily, I wouldn’t buy a hoppy beer that is over 3 months old, especially from a brewer like Wingman. However, this was sitting in the fridge in a Total Wine and reduced to just $1.99, so I figured "what the heck," Before popping open the beer, as it warmed, I decided to take a look at the brewery. I started realizing that the brewery was making a lot of brett, buggy, and even sour beers recently. For a brewery that size I started to think that, for a brewery this size, how well were they going to keep their beers from getting infected. Anywho, I pop the beer, pour it, big head, very cloudy golden-orange color. First sniff did not bring out any old hops or fading hopiness but a strong/sharp aroma. So, my first thought is this hasn’t gotten too old. A few more sips and a few more sniffs and... wait.. is it... is this... can it be... yes! Brett!!!! its s Brett beer now. Nothing to tell me from the label or the internet this was meant to be but it is. Moderately herbal brett, low oiliness. Flavor is a sharper character, actually has some hoppiness - fruity. Low bitterness, thank goodness. Hops and tartness linger on in the aftertaste. Not as funky and the Brett isn’t full enough in the flavor. But a really fun beer, especially for the price. I’ll need to run to Total Wine and buy the rest of these at such a low cost.
