Wild Mind Artisan Ales Cool Ship Special Release Spontane'. Coolship Wild Ale. 5.4% ABV. 5 IBU. Wild Mind Artisan Ales, Minneapolis, MN.
Clear, bright golden hued, swiftly departed head of foam.
In the nose: Intense sour. Fantastic funk. Fruity, vinegar-y, and very enticing.
In the mouth: intense puckeration. Oh, yeah, that's sour. Sour, and fruity and dry. Medium body, fully tart finish. Long puckering. Whoa.
I've been sitting on this for a month or so, since their 1st. anniversary party, when so may other special beers flew out the door before I could get there. I got this bottle the next day, and saved it till now. I'll be back soon to check out what's new, and see what's up with the bottle room. Soon. soon.
For now, I'm still finishing off this bomber, and it's a sourhead's dream. Incredible sour, long-lasting tart. Good degree of oakiness, plenty of barrel influence. Apricot and peach. Funky, funky, funky.
Oh, I will be back for more. If not the same, then all the other barrel-y wild and wooly goodness.
"A little more than a year ago, this blend of our 100 percent spontaneously fermented wild ale was inoculated overnight in our custom-made coolship. We then refermented in the bottle, resulting in a complex, truly wild ale with notes of stone fruit, honey, and loads of barnyard funk."
