Three Floyds Sicario Pina

Three Floyds Sicario Pina. Barrel-aged Pineapple Saison.
6.6 % ABV. 21 IBU.
Three Floyds Brewing, Munster, IN.

Clear-ish. Crimson colored. Slim white head.

In the nose: Funk, fruit, and more funk. Brett and oak are in full effect. Pineapple lurks below. Getting louder, though. Complexity abounds.

In the mouth: Sharp, acidic, slightly sweet. Brett drives this, along with the power of the barrel. Red wine barrel flavors unspooling. Pineapple lies beneath, but never comes near domination. It almost seems pointless, but you've got to have some fruit in play, might as well try that one out.

Acidity and tartness is large in this one, Very refreshing and just about delicious. Delectable.
Plenty of citrusy flavors to balance it out. I like this one.

I keep wondering what kind of barrels this was aged in. Muscat? Well, that explains it.

Muscat barrel aged Brettanomyces pineapple saison. Primary aroma is reminiscent of fresh squeezed pineapple juice. The pineapple is balanced by oak, citrus, and fruity/earthy Brettanomyces character.
