Wild Mind Mahalo Sour Ale fermented with pineapple

Wild Mind Mahalo Sour Ale fermented with pineapple. 5.5 % ABV, 25 IBU. Wild Mind Artisan Ales, Minneapolis, MN.

Clouded, bright golden, slim white head.

In the nose: Pow! Sour hits first, quickly followed by sweet fruit. Pineapple, large and in charge. Well-tempered combination of the sweet & sour.

In the mouth: Fierce and funky sour attack on the palate. Thereafter, it's all pineapple. Fresh, pulpy, flush with bright, tropical fruit. Quite refreshing. Medium bodied. Long, sour finish. Tasty sour, for sure.

In late January, in the worst temperatures that keep us all inside, we all want to imagine the sunny tropics. Having this beer tonight puts me on the beach in my mind. That's enough for me.

This blend of Camille, our base barrel-aged saison, was conditioned on pineapple puree and Motueka hops to create a fruity, hoppy, and refreshingly tart saison.
