Firestone Walker Brewing Co Feral One

What the brewers say

“Aromas of lemon pith, oak, orange zest, vanilla.”

What our panel thought

“Funky leather Brett notes followed by peach, pear, and apricot with oak in the background. Sharp tartness builds with raspberry and orange. Brett provides a soft minerality and woody flavor.”

What our editors thought

“Red grape skin, French oak, cellar must, apricot marmalade, and a bit of tire rubber on the nose. The flavor presents tangerine and orange with a zesty bitterness and a drying tannin.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Our Mutual Friend Brewing Memory Rediscovered

Sweet, floral fruit in the nose, like ripe, peeled apricot/peach. Touch of Brett and citrus. Cinnamon notes emerge as it warms. Tangy, juicy peach/apricot flavor, moderately sweet up front before dissolving in the sparkles into an earthy dryness and lasting tang.

Firestone Walker Brewing Co STiVO

“Pale yellow in color, unfiltered, with a nice bright white head that lingers. Bright floral hop aroma with a touch of dank in the background. Pleasant soft citrus in both the aroma and flavor is tempered by a moderate and very clean bitterness. A lifting herbal and light melon citrus hop flavor builds, but just when it’s about to reach the upper limit, it lets off the gas and the grainy malt starts to come into balance. Slightly minerally, with a clean, dry finish. Overall, a very fresh and soft quality with a quick and clean finish. Well-crafted with no flaws. Aggressive without hitting the limit.”

Wellspent Brewing Company Wandering Lights

Fresh floral-lemon-pepper hop aroma is assertive and enticing, followed by earthy forest-rain funk. Initial hit of lemon-citrus tickles the tongue—lightly sour, with some pleasant barrel notes. Crisp hop bitterness with a long finish—perhaps a bit astringent.
