Description
Hailing from Texas, Topher Boehm has an impressive resume - from Brasserie Thiriez to Jester King to his background in astrophysics - not to mention his unique house yeast. Cultivated from foraged wildflowers native to NSW, think wattle blossoms and banksia, blended with a Belgian saison strain, creating something truly individual which speaks of place. Topher even sprayed the entire brewery with inoculated wort when he moved in, just to make sure everything was literally covered in the house culture.

Draught at Arrogant Sour 2019, shared by Sander, thanks!
Pinkish-red, hazy body, with a medium, creamy, lacing, pinkish head.
Quite light aroma of plum, some citrus, some flowers.
Tastes similar, a bit more aromatic, with more apples.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation. Finishes dry, moderate sour, a bit wooden, with green apple, plum, some citrus.
Solid. While clean and fresh, pretty light and simple, without much going on. As it warms up, the plums come through a bit more. Score: 6 / 4 / 7 / 3 / 13

Bottle. Opaque orange with a white head. Aroma of lime, white nectarines, pineapple, crackers, spices. Little funk. Light bodied, moderate carbonation. Lots of almost sharp citrus, some spices and pine needles. Pineapple at the slightly roughly bitter end. Seems like hopping early has compromised what's usually good about their beer.

Bottle shared with the Kuala Lumpur Tasting Crew. Poured a hazy golden colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is grainy, yeast, vinous, citrus fruit. The flavour is moderate sour, with a light, crisp, tart citrus, molasses, light biscuit dough palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation. A basic sour that ticks all the boxes.

Taster, many thanks to Werckmeister!
Pale golden, moderate hazy body, with almost no head.
Aroma of funk, green apples, pears, citrus, wood, nuts, some vanilla.
Tastes similar, with more nutty notes.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a quite lively carbonation.
Finishes quite dry, moderate acidic, wooden, nutty, a bit funky, with green apple skin and pears.
Very nice. Typical, straight wild ale, with nice acidic fruits, funk and nutty barrel notes. Drinks really fresh and easy, lovely stuff.
Score: 8 / 3 / 8 / 4 / 15
