Wild Mind Second Man on the Moon Brett Pale Ale

Wild Mind Second Man on the Moon Brett Pale Ale. 6.2% ABV, 30 IBU. Wild Mind Artisanal Ales, Minneapolis, MN.

Clear, bright golden hue, sold slab of ivory foam on top.

In the nose: mild, lightly hoppy. And here comes the funk. Oh, yeah.

In the mouth: Starts with a sour pucker, then it's clean, lean and a touch of citrusy hops. Delicious and funky, wild and refreshing. Yum. Even Yum-dum-dum.

This one flips all my triggers. I can drink it all night long. I love a Brett ale, and this is a damned good one.

Fermented using Bootleg Biology’s “Funk Weapon #2” strain of Brettanomyces yeast, Second Man on the Moon has bright citrus aromas and flavors that were complemented with a heavy dose of Motueka and Pacifica hops. Buzz Buttons, an edible flower that causes a tingling sensation, were added to the pale ale to bring out the dry body of the beer while providing a faint tingle at the finish.

"Buzz Buttons:, huh? Well, who'da thunk it, eh?
