Wallenpaupack Brewing Co. Talkback

Gin, grapefruit pith, lemon peel, low oak, and background funk. Earthy, citrus-forward funk carries into huge tropical-fruit flavor. Harmonious. Some gentle acidity brightens the flavors. The Brett brings it all together. Digging this.

“Tropical soap perfume—papaya, melon, dried peach, and strawberry—meld with pepper and clove spice. The malt sweetness carries pleasantly complex hop notes that combine hints of old-school Noble character with a fun tropical twist. There’s just enough phenolic spice to round things out, and the dry finish is a pleasant palate cleanser.”

**Aroma:** “Big *Brett* funk on the initial aroma with some nice citrus hops aroma that sits in the back. Slight white-grape ester with some funky wet blanket that play well together. Light malt sweetness.” **Flavor:** “Earthy barnyard *Brett* with apple and slight minty spice. A bit of white pepper and peach. Tart throughout, with a dry finish and high carbonation. A sweetness hits up front with orange and lemon that follow with some nice *Brett* funk. A pepper-like spice helps to cut the sweetness. Big juicy apricot and lemon flavor with a fantastic tartness that carries all the way through. Medium hops flavor or grapefruit and lemon with a slight herbal peppery and spiciness of rye.” **Overall:** “Complex blend of fruity, spicy, and funky—nothing dominates. Tart character and high carbonation make for a very crisp and refreshing beer. Complex and all the flavors from the malt, hops, and fermentation characteristics play well together.”
