Category 12 Brewing Chronos – American Wild Ale at 6.8% ABV (C$6.75 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 26-Mar-2025, acquired 9-Sep-2025, reviewed 13-Sep-2025)
Appearance: clear deep gold with one finger of fine pale ivory head, good retention and patchy soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: horseblankety funk, oak, citrus. (9/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter, moderate-low tart. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-lively carbonation, dry funky finish. (3/5)
It’s been far too long since I’ve had a good Wild, and this is a pretty good Wild. Brett funk dominates the aroma, but oak and citrus give it a run for its money, and the lively-tending carbonation keeps things elevated through the mid. My only real complaint here is that it falls down a little through the finish, with an aftertaste that doesn’t quite follow through with the initial promise. (16/20)
This will be my 6,193rd unique Untappd check-in.
