Bottle thanks OleDixie! Pours cloudy OJ, medium white head, decent lacing. Aroma is apricots and peaches, light sulphur, funk and oak. Flavor is medium tart, lightly funky, very stonefruit forward, again a hint of sulphur. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel.

Bottle thanks to Russell. Pours a hazy orange with medium white head that lasts. The aroma is strong peach flesh and stone fruit. Thin mouth, tart peach, stone fruit, light oak, acidic but not too overpowering, really enjoyed this.

Funny story about how I got this one but to put it bluntly, this beer was totally a gift from a friend that was passing through my area. He gave this to me during the summer months and I had it in my cellar until this February and shared it with another friend who was passing by at 55F cellar temp in stemware.
A - This beer despite being upright for 6 months was insanely cloudy like the most cloudy, fresh off the UPS truck yeast sediment grossness cloudy but it was this bright orange gorgeous color that reminded me of a cloudy Fou Foune. Just incredibly looking. There was some pellicle particles in my glass and sticky-icky lacing that persistently had me scrubbing my glass with a sponge once done.
S - HUGE nose of lactic bright acidity, grape skins, earthy, tree bark, sweet fig newtons, lemon bars and cheesecake. Very acidic tartness and had me thinking this was going to be a vinegar forward Upland beer. Thankfully, I was wrong.
T - WOWWOWOWOWOW Barely a hint of vinegar like none. BOOM apricot, mango, floral honey-dew, rose hips and peaches. Most importantly, the most muscadine forward beer I’ve ever had. Maybe this is like some child-hood throw back but I used to eat these things growing naturally in Alabama as a kid growing up like growing out of ’strip pits’ and really gross conditions and this was like a muscadine beer. Straight up grapey, peach fuzz muscadine earthy beer with tart wine-like acidity that hits you hard at first and sticks around just incredible.
M - Explosive carbonation but has a 7up like soda carbonation that really blends well with the tart fruit.
O - This was easily my favorite American Wild ale ever made. Incredibly juicy, wine forward everyone should try this beer once and now Pizza Boy is on my must stop list anytime I’m passing through PA.

750ml bottle at the brewery. Pours a hazy yellow with some filmy white head. Loved the nose, I thought both the apricots and the white wine shine through beautifully, white grape, grass, light funk, a little grapefruit juice, nettles. Flavor is also nice, light fruit sweetness, some funk, sticky dried apricot, grass, straw, a little white grape. Refreshingly tart finish. Really good.

Bottle at the source courtesy of Terry, thank you sir! Hazy golden yellow color, small white head with delicate lacing. Aroma of white wine, mixed summer fruit, mostly peach, slight lemon, pineapple. Taste is softly sour and funky apricot, peach, pear, citrus, with a bit of white wine and vanilla. Very tasty.
