Funkwerks Paisley

Distinct strawberry in nose, hints of barnyard and armpit. Fruit character shifts to sour red wine on first sip; aggressive tartness, followed by Brett, wood, earth. Bracing finish, missing brighter fruit to balance wilder fermentation character.

“Very light bready aroma and flavor are enhanced with moderate lemony notes and a resiny wood character. Moderate lemon zest and lime notes with juniper-like conifer. Fun ingredients that blend into something greater.”

**Aroma:** “Juicy tropical hops—lot of grapefruit and a bit of passion fruit. A bit of citrus esters maybe, but hops dominate. There’s a freshness about the aroma of sweet tropical fruit—pineapple and mango and more rustic _Brett_ flavors in the background.” **Flavor:** “Big juicy tropical citrus hops with a slight orange tang and hint of herbal. Fruit character hits with pineapple, mango, and gooseberry, but it quickly fades to a thin bitter beer with some harsher _Brett_ flavors and slight hops astringency.” **Overall:** “Big juicy aroma is awesome, but hops bitterness is way over the top and astringent, which makes this difficult to drink (like Malört). An intriguing concept for a beer, with a ludicrous amount of hops flavor, but the beer gets so dry and bitter that the original concept is lost in the final product.”
