Wild Mind Wind in the Willows American Wild Ale

Wild Mind Wind in the Willows American Wild Ale. 7% IBU, 5 IBU. Wild Mind Artisan Ales, Minneapolis, MN.

Opaque, apricottish-hued, slim ivory head.

In the nose: Sour and fruity from the start. Fruity, funky, not too hoppy. Yeah.

In the mouth: Ooo! Ooo! Big pucker! Wow, sour! Lots of citrus, tons of fruit. Medium bodied, long tart finish. Okay, I'm getting the apricots, but they're smothered in sour. Plump stone fruit, scant citrus, and puckering sourness covering it all.

Strap yourselves in for the sour, boys and girls, this one has it all.

Fermented in barrels with our wild yeast, Wind in the Willows brings together farmhouse funk with the tangy sweetness of apricots. This tart rye saison is bright and complex with notes of fresh apricot jam.
