Tap at Sidedoor. Sweet malts, can’t tell if the belgo yeast is there, maybe a mix? Foamy white head on top of an orange-tan body. Has some earthy caramel-toffee tones. Enjoyable, but I’d prefer it a little more crisp. Sweet malt. Earthy Hops. OK.

375ml bottle I picked up in Madison pours a hazy gold with lots of frothy, foamy white head. Nose has lemon, straw, white grape, lime, some candy, some stale malt. Flavor has a big white grape juice thing, lemon juice, some white pepper, straw, some light chardonnay barrel, hints of corn. Slick finish with a touch of booze.

"American Wild Ale." 7 oz sample at Standard Market. Slightly cloudy copper body under a slightly stiff layer of foam. Nose of fresh berry nice with just a bit of tartness. Taste immediately has me thinking of a nice Belgian spot or even lambic. Sourness is merely pleasant, not puckery. A fine, moderate sour that I am happy to say was blended from the many talks of a local brewer.

Draft. From notes. Chocolate and cocoa. Smoked malts. Pretty good, a little thin for my personal preference.
