Wild Mind Ales Strawberry Number XXIII
Our beer today is a sour from Wild Mind Artisan Ales out of (either) Waunakee, WI or Minneapolis, MN. Not sure which location is accurate as the can states one and their website states another. Either way…it’s a nice sour. Lovely color of strawberry with very little head formation. The strawberry and hibiscus come through well on the nose. The brewer describes the flavors as: strawberry, passionfruit, lemon, hibiscus and vanilla. I definitely am able to pick out all of these except maybe the vanilla. It is sour but not overwhelmingly so, which is good for me as I am not crazy about things to sour. At only 4.5% ABV, this is a very easily drinkable beer. I think I need to find a sour that has a thicker and creamier overall body for me to enjoy it more thoroughly. I am trying to get behind the whole sour craze but my taste buds are having to work overtime with the sour and tart beers.
