Wild Ale - 5.8% ABV

     Pretty sour, with a little saltiness and fruity flavor going down, and finishes a touch funky. There's a lot going on here in a very good way. Delicious. A little expensive, but worth it.

     Super tart with a little fruitiness and some extra carbonation to keep you from puckering too much. Delicious.

​     Really sour up front, then leaves a nice fruity finish. The apricot flavor is there, and its subtlety really allows the sourness to shine. It's expensive, but totally worth it.

Wild Ale - 5.6% ABV

     There's a lot going on here: a little bit of cherry, a little funk, a little salty, a little sour. Lots of flavor that somehow comes together in a very drinkable, albeit expensive, delicious beer.

Sour - 7.9% ABV

     Really sour and a little bit of fruit. Definitely taste strawberry, and a little extra sweetness to balance the sour. Excellent. Interesting name, but I think that's better used on a fruitier, less sour beer.
