Beer style is a sour ale/wild ale. I couldn't select this.

The Wild West is a beer from the brewery Alvinne and is a fairly simple recipe of white beer, brewed without hops and only used with the famous Morpheus yeast.
It was brewed in January 2011 in the previous installation of brewing Alvinne.
Due to the move to the newest brewery in July 2011 had to moved this beer also. In fact they had very different plans for this beer. But this beer it was decided to move the beer into 2 Burgundy oak barrels, where it still remained a few months on the barrels. It was finally bottled in November 2011.

A: Slightly cloudy beer with a small but beautiful head.

S: Vinegar and a sour smell.

T: Vinegar and a sour taste, of a high quality.

M: Light carbonation, sour and a bitter mouthfeel.

O: Nice experience and a long aftertaste. This could be the beer of the future.
I'm not a big fan of sour beers but the quality of this beer is very good, thankfully I have a few bottles left.

Bottle shared at bu11zeye's 10,000th tasting.

The beer pours an orange-yellow color with a white head. The aroma has a light amount of tartness, as well as some leather, Belgian yeast and lemon notes. The flavor is similar. I get a lot of tart lemons, as well as some green apples and cherries. There is also a nice amount of yeast and some lighter, biscuit malt thrown in. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.
