Review on Odd Breed Wild Ales Syrah Bugs

If you are a fan of wild ales, brewed and fermented old style, then buckle up because I have just the right pick for you – the Odd Breed Wild Ales Syrah Bugs. With a towering score of 92/100, this beer has received some well-deserved acclaim, marking its distinctive spot in the world of wild ales.

First Encounters

As I approached the beer, my first impressions were dictated by my senses. What first caught my attention was the aroma. It has an intoxicating blend of 11 different smells: there is an underlying sweetness to it that is not all syrupy, but rather sharp. It pricks your olfactory senses and you can suddenly perceive the smell of wine barrels, red fruits, and wild blueberries. It’s quite the medley.

Appearance is Everything

Now, to speak of its appearance. Rated at 3, the beer has a ruddy complexion, like a melted rubellite bathing in the sunlight. And it is this striking color that automatically draws your eyes towards it. The way it sits in your glass, you can tell it is not something of the mundane.

The Real Deal: Flavor

And what is a wild ale without an unapologetically wild flavor? The Syrah Bugs score a whopping 18 on the scale. It is the ethnicity that comes with Syrah barrels that adds an edge to the beer. But it is not just that. The unique flavor composition also integrates the robustness of mixed fruits. I could distinctly taste the sharp sweetness of cherries and raspberries. Also, for those of you with a discerning palate, the lingering flavor of cherries and rich tobacco notes will definitely leave you wanting for more.

Mouthfeel – The Tactile Experience

Fanning the flames of its multifaceted flavor profile is the mouthfeel. A score of 5 denotes its expansive palette. The brewers have done a commendable job when it comes to maintaining the balance in taste. The very beginning of your sip would press forward the tastebuds of acidity followed by the calming undertones of red-wine grape notes. This self-regulating taste function leaves a rather smooth feel in your mouth.

Our Editors’ Take

Certainly, our editors found it no less fascinating. One editor described his experience as if entering a forest, damp with rain and brimming with life; you can feel the touch of earth, the taste of fresh fruits, and the scent of musty cellar that heightens the overall taste and aroma of this divine beer.

Verdict

In conclusion, the Odd Breed Wild Ales Syrah Bugs has proven itself as a drink that embodies tradition and embraces uniqueness. It marries the wild flavors of different ingredients, giving birth to a beer that can boldly stand alone. While some might find the lactic acid-forward sip a bit aggressive, the gentle descent into fruity grape notes balances it out beautifully. It’s a beer worth trying and one you will definitely enjoy.
