Wittekerke Wild

16 ounce can into tulip glass, best before 5/4/2018. Pours very hazy pale yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of tart lemon, lime, green apple, pear, coriander, orange zest, pepper, hay, straw, oak, musty funk, wheat, cracker, light white vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, spices, oak, and light-moderate pale malt notes; with good strength. Taste of tart lemon, lime, green apple, pear, coriander, orange zest, pepper, hay, straw, oak, musty funk, wheat, cracker, light white vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. Moderate fruity/acidic tartness and yeast/oak spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of tart lemon, lime, green apple, pear, coriander, orange zest, pepper, hay, straw, musty funk, and yeast/oak earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, spices, oak, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/tart/spiciness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light increasing dryness from tart/spiciness as well. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately acidic/sticky, and creamy/grainy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is an excellent sour witbier style. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, spices, oak, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink with the balanced acidity. A very enjoyable offering.
