Off Color Oncilla Taxi

A funky saison aged in a Sangiovese puncheon with Brettanomyces claussenii and a Carmen Miranda hat of tropical fruits including Finger limes, Yuzu, Pink lemons, Mandarin oranges, Mandarinquats, Limequats, Calamondins and Fukushu Kumquats. (John’s sister is convinced we made some of these up.) The resulting beer has a pouncing tropical nose, subtle but tangy sharp acidity with fleeing notes of honeydew and green tea. The sheer volume of acidity from the fruits gives this a very different citric acidity than anything else we have done. Easy on the deforestation, folks, before this one has to be renamed “Sad, Homeless Cat.”
