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

Clear, rich golden with a pillowy white head. Sweet fruits, banana, white pepper, spice, hay, herbal notes, yeast. Medium, slippery body. Finish has a sweetness to it that covers an otherwise nice pepper profile. An interesting take on the style and a fun sip. Would like to see the sweetness come down some but no actual complaints, here.

Panda from Colin Bois. Cheers. Slightly opaque amber. Frothy foamy white head. Aroma has an initial resinous bitterness followed by jammy sugary sweetness. Flavourwise there's a resinous streak with a light spice and citrus edge. But there's also an unwanted underlying watery veg element. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-flat carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. The aroma was promising but flava disappointing.

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 !
