Bottle. A- Apricot, bright, tropical fruit, sour. A- Gold color, clear liquid, white head. T- Passionfruit, apricot, sumac spice, tangy, mild funk, slightly acidic. P- Light body, effervescent texture, medium high carbonation, tangy finish. O- A very bright and flavorful sour. Some light bretty notes bring forth some funk but the fruit really shines. The sumac adds some floral like spice but the passionfruit and apricot really come through the most. Quite nice. Had this one at about 3 years old.

Bought at Liquor Shed in Casper. Part of a Eureka Missouri series. No dating on the 22 ounce bottle that I can find.
It pours a hazy dark yellow with a fairy long lasting head of foam. Good lacing.
Smells acetic with notes of apricot, passionfruit, don't know aboot the kumquat or sumac listed on the label. Some mild notes of Brett.
The taste is dry, full of the fruits I mentioned, some Brett, good and sour!
Medium mouthfeel, very smooth. I favour it.
A very excellent Melvin Wild Ale!
