Description
Wide Street Brewing Company specialises in mixed fermentation methods and 100% Brettanomyces beers. Our vision is to brew innovative beers with alternative fermentation methods. Our house yeast is a custom blend of Brettanomyces, saccharomyces and lactobacillus strains from Bootleg Biology, a yeast laboratory based in Nashville, USA. This gives our beer a distinctive dry mouthfeel and enhanced fruity flavours. We have released many unique styles of beers since we started in May 2019 such as saisons, grisettes and table beers as well as mixed fermentation aged sour beers. We also love experimenting with new hops and brewing styles and have recently released Farmhouse Pilsner and a Cashmere IPA with no Brettanomyces in them

Pours clear blonde, meidum sized white head of low stability. Scent is brett, oak, not very geuze-forward to me, also not AmLam style per se (yes I know this isn't american) , more like one of those heavy brett-forward, yet usually very pleasant, geuze imitations you also find in the US, or other countries outside of Belgium. Looks like this might be an enjoyable... lets call it 'brett-euze' ?
Taste showcases a refined acidity, to the level that is indeed very lambic / geuze like, not over the top, and fairly complex. Citrussy, very bright, woody, brett-forward but not one sided at all. High carbo and dry mouthfeel. Yesyesyes, this is the path to follow! A bit harsh in the throat in terms of acidity, nothing truly unacceptable, but when comparing to geuze, you're opening yourself up to be critisized on the details. I very much agree with the way they described it themselves, a geuze-style beer (aka not a geuze, but inspired on one) . Also I do get the citrussy notes ( lemon and grapefruit, they say - coudln't agree more). A very respecfull, and respectable, '4 year spontaneous blend' . Enjoyable to drink, interesting to taste !

440ml can. Cloudy, yellow-ish, golden colour with huge, dense, firm, beaten egg white head. Yeasty spicy and minimally yeasty fruity aroma, minimally bready-grainy and spicy, pale malty background, hints of banana, some white pepper, some black pepper, minimally grassy, herbal-spicy, hoppy overtones. Taste is mildly bitter, herbal-grassy hoppy, yeasty fruity and slightly yeasty spicy, sweet-ish and minimally bready-grainy as well as spicy, pale malty, minimally diluted hints of banana, pear, melon, some black pepper, white pepper, a touch of protein.
Minimally oily, watery texture, slightly dry, simultaneously minimally greasy palate, medium, dense, prickly carbonation.
Well balanced, very nice, rural-spicy yeasty notes, subtle sweetness, well matching hop flavours - enjoyable.

Huge, dense & fine white head over finely carbonated clear golden beer, leaving shards of lace. Bit lemonpeel, even "wild-yeast-y", but smelling of watercolour paint. Bitterish, and again this very outspoken watercolour paint flavour. Just a pinpoint of lemon. Very well carbonated, even creamy feel from the head. Finish and aftertaste feel a bit empty. Mates. A beer is either Pilsner or Vienna, not both. And THIS is in no way Vienna! Txs to Stef!
