Tripping Animals Brewing Co.

This Wild Specialty Beer delivers a striking sensory experience defined by its bold adjunct profile and sharp acidity. The aroma is dominated by piercing green apple skin and tropical pineapple, layered over a subtle, earthy wild funk. On the palate, a vibrant lactic sourness is moderated by the floral, waxy richness of honey, which provides a unique textural counterpoint to the tart fruit esters. Despite the honey's presence, the finish remains crisp and dry, typical of an American Wild Ale. The interplay between the aggressive acidity and the lush, tropical pineapple creates a complex, refreshing profile that is both intense and evocative.

Appearance. Pale straw to gold (4-6 SRM) with a persistent haze. Pours with a thin, brilliant white head that fades quickly to a fine rim; minimal lacing due to high acidity and specialty ingredients.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics of tart green apple and ripe, acidic pineapple. Subtle floral and nectar-like notes from honey emerge as it warms. Fermentation character includes moderate lactic acidity and a light barnyard funk; no hop aroma or malt-driven character.

Taste. Initial impression is sharply sour with intense flavors of Granny Smith apple and juicy pineapple. The honey adds an off-dry, wildflower sweetness in the mid-palate that balances the acidity. Minimal hop bitterness (low IBU context). The finish is very dry and puckering with lingering tropical fruit esters and a clean, acidic aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a slight slickness or creaminess from the honey addition. Moderate carbonation. Notable acidity provides a sharp, crisp bite on the tongue; no alcohol warmth or significant tannin astringency.
