As most of you know, I was lucky enough to visit Vermont a few months back and was even luckier to make a stop at Fiddlehead Brewing Company. Now, while I have had their flagship IPA a few times I was relatively unfamiliar with their other offerings and let me tell you they did not disappoint. So, when looking at the ‘to-go’ options and seeing an American Wild Ale with a fun name. I knew I had to give it a shot.
‘Landscape With Haystacks’ pours into the glass a clear, straw-colored yellow with a small white head that disappears relatively quickly. It has notes of lime and a distinct funk from the Brettanomyces used in the brewing process. The taste is amazing. The lemon, lime, and brett funk each battle each other for supremacy with neither being able to gain the upper hand for long. With a light mouthfeel this American Wild Ale packs a devastatingly sour punch, that coats the entire tongue starting from the back and lingers well after the beer is gone. Clocking in at 5.9% ABV this bottle will keep you happy while still leaving room for another.
