Wild Mind Spontane' Bramble Fruited Coolship Wild Ale

Wild Mind Spontane' Bramble Fruited Coolship Wild Ale.
6 % ABV. 5 IBU.
Wild Mind Artisan Ales, Minneapolis, MN.

Bright red coloring, slim pinkish head. Opaque.

In the nose: Tart and fruity. Very berry. Blackberry, cherry, & boysenberry. (I peeked ahead.)

In the mouth: Seriously sour. Big funk in here. Juicy, fruity, tasty. Medium-bodied, and exceptionally refreshing. Rich and complex. Dark berries aplenty, applied to the sour, producing deliciousness.

Damn, this was good. I should have bought a couple of them, but they were $25 a bottle. Worth it, though.

This single-year blend of our first 100 percent spontaneously fermented wild ale was inoculated overnight in our custom-made coolship and then fermented on blackberries, cherries, and boysenberries. The truly wild ale was refermented in the bottle and has notes of dark currants and fresh berries with a strong base of barnyard funk.
