Springdale See You in the Pit

“Rustic berry aromas meander across the nose. Elderberry offers an earthy grounding, while strong, jammy fruit flavors are overbalanced by a rush of lactic acid. Jammy, puckering, satisfying.”

“Pulpy bright orange color with a steady white head. Passion fruit–mango nose. Tart tangerine flavor has a vinous, almost champagne quality that dances around the fruit components. A moderate amount of sourness lingers slightly on the tongue. One for the white-wine fans.”

**Aroma:** “Pineapple and sweet malt with blood orange and cloves. Strong _Brett_ aroma—floral, goaty, and horse blanket—with raspberry-like notes up front create an interesting astringency with a touch of peach and pineapple.” **Flavor:** “Lots of fun fruit flavors—pineapple and tropical hops flavors. Acidity is moderate, but assertive. The _Brett_ character makes this beer unusual— high sour notes up front that grow and grow and grow, then diminish, then roar back. There’s a slight sweetness toward the end of the sip and a slight sting from the fruit at the very end of the sip that is unexpected but welcomed.” **Overall:** “Very good if you’re looking for a barnyard sour beer. The play of malt sweetness, slight tartness, and herbal notes is quite nice. It has a very saison-like yeast profile, with some crazy tropical fruit flavors and plenty of well-balanced sour complexity.”
