'Wild' ale by BrewDog Overworks - a separate production site owned by BrewDog designed to experiment with wild and mixed fermentation, set up at another location from the main brewery, in order to avoid infections with wild yeasts there (compare with Bruery's Terreux project). Draft at Wildeman, thanks Craftmember for sharing. Creamy, regularly shaped, lacing, dissipating head on a misty straw blonde beer with ochre-ish hue. Aroma teeming with a strong sulfuric stench (rotting egg, sewer water and rotting cabbage), overpowering more flattering notes of unripe yellow plum, green banana, lime, gherkins, grass, peach. Crisp sour onset, gooseberry and unripe nectarine, lime- and gherkin-like side aspects, medium fizz, wheaty - soapy middle with breadiness thrown in, dried by the sourness; lingering gooseberry sourness with a light grassy hop bitterish note, but when that sulfuric stench returns retronasally, the enjoyment is over. The taste as such is alright, but the extreme sulfuricness in the nose really put me off - BrewDog does great things, but sour and wild ales very clearly are not something they should venture in (yet?). Feels like a case of self-overestimation to me.

Taste comprises big lemon sherbets, prickly cacactus, herbal notes, light perfume, grass. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, semi drying close with a light puckering rasp. Decent.

Keg at BrewDog Leicester. Golden and hazy with a ring of white head. Sour kumquat peel aroma with notes of mango, cider vinegar and a vegetal note. Very tart taste, almost a touch acrid in my opinion, with a lingering sourness in the back of the throat through to the long finish. More kumquat and sour pineapple in the aftertaste. Medium carbonation. Really well put together.
