Wild Mind Forbidden Amrood. American Wild Ale conditioned on guava, grapefruit, and mint.
750 ml bottle. 5.2% ABV. 5 IBU.
Wild Mind Artisan Ales, Minneapolis, MN.
Well, this is a first. I uncap the bottle of Wild Mind Artisanal Ale, and there's a cork inside. Classy, but wholly unnecessary and pointless.
Clear, bright golden hue, slim, soon-gone head.
In the nose: funky, fruity, sour. Nicely balanced, though sour completely covers any sweetness.
In the mouth: Whoa, huge tartness on the tongue. Powerful pucker. huge fruit, but well-tempered, never sweet, finishing dry. Light bodied, easy-drinking for the sour-heads out there. Guava and grapefruit give the tropical/citrus twang, with mint floating just below. Sweetness occasionally gets ahead of the sour for a bit, but never for long.
Juicy fruit, mint and sour always doing a dance on the palate.
Another of the good old good ones from Wild Mind. Delicious.
Blend of foeder and barrel aged golden sour that underwent secondary fermentation with guava and grapefruit before being conditioned on mint leaves just before packaging. Forbidden Amrood has a nose of guava and soft mint with a strong grapefruit and tart citrus finish to blend to meld the melange of tropical flavors.
