Gold is a medium strength Australian Wild Ale best enjoyed in good company. Delicately balanced, gold shows notes of pepper, fresh hops, lemon zest and stone fruits. The palate is effervescent and bone dry with a subtle spicy bitterness, pillowy body and developing acidity from the indigenous flora. This beer undergoes a warm primary fermentation in wide vats before being transferred into French oak barrels for maturation. Barrels are then selected and blended to meet our desired character before being packaged and naturally bottle conditioned for a minimum of 12 weeks for ideal carbonation. Only then do we release this unspiced wild ale to be enjoyed at table with your favourite foods and best of friends.

On tap @Luppolo Station (Rome). Gialla acida, mediamente torbida, schiuma bianca medio-leggera. Al naso note di bretta, citrico, limone, stalla, leggero vinoso. In bocca è appena dolce all'attacco con chiusura acida medio-leggera, vinosa, leggermente tart. Corpo leggero, carbonazione medio-leggera. Niente male.

Blend #15 18/4/18.
Pours a hazy straw gold with a small but long lasting head of foam, excellent lacing.
Smells of tart fruit..apples and a huge Brett aroma. Kind of vinous but it's the Brett that got my attention.
Taste wise, there's the tart fruitiness that tastes apple like, some acetic sourness, grape like sourness, and very much of a Brett character that adds horseblanket and a nice dryness. All this flavour packed into a 5% abv brew!
For the abv, the mouthfeel is fine.
Another knockout beer from Wildflower!

big funky brett character. Nice chalkiness and citrus notes. Light body, modestly tart. Light and simple and fun. This is a great beer and a great beer to get people into sour beers. Super well made. Excellent

Taster showing pale gold with sparse white foam. The nose shows clean light notes of brett, lemon, and light citrus. The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. Moderately tart with clean notes of lemon and light brett. Very clean and refreshing.
