Commercial Description:
Bold, spicy, menacingly delicious HopDevil takes on an entirely new dimension when subjected to a wild yeast fermentation. A sharp, sourish edge has been added by this fermentations that plays into the caramel sweet malt deliciously and creates complex interplay with citrus accented hops.

Tasted from Growler (thanks Rick!). Poured a deep and ligtlhy hazy golden color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of bananas, citrus, pine, and some funkiness. The brett / funkiness came out as the glass warmed up. Tastes of fruitiness, bananas, lightly funky and citrus. Smooth body.

Hand Bottle... SMAACMSM O-Town Throwdown, Part Sept... Cloudy golden ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Spicy hops and phenols (clove) in the aroma. Medium-bodied with a skim milk mouthfeel and nearly-expired carbonation. Earthy bitterness (leather, canvas) with a hint of acidity. Lengthy, mostly bitter finish... eventually dries out. mgumby10 provided the bottle!

Draft. Pours semi-hazy deep gold going toward orange with off-white head. Nose is citrus, orange zest, piney hops, mild feety Simcoey Bretty notes. Tastes hoppy in a piney sense, with malt, some orange zest, and funky yeasty notes.
