On tap at the Detroit location. Pours a deep brown with an off-white head. Wild mint, cocoa, and tart fruit in the aroma. Flavor is sour red grape and cocoa brightened with the touch of wild mint. Not super minty, but definitely there. Quite good.

04/24/20 Bottle from Wolf Brew in NC around the start of the new year. Short goblets at home. Quick-hitting, thin, dirty white head. Dirty, translucent, bubbly, dark red/brown body. Smells like a macerated sour brown ale. Nothing much identifying the extra ingredients. Taste is a sour brown with lots of lime zest & a twinge of pineapple juice. Vinegary & Jolly Pumpkin appropriately sour. First hit is well carbonated, turning to just a slight but constant fizz. Yeasty, but runny texture, alcohol is fine. Wanted more mai tai. A little messy as a basic sour. Expensive.

Nice clean tart collab here. Plenty of lime brightness and blackberry earthiness. Fruity with a lovely easy nose, and longevity on the finish
