Pours hazy orange. Bubbly, short, Whitehead the Fades immediately.
Smell Citrus, grapefruit, malts, Light wine and Oak.
Taste Citrus peel, bready malt, Oaky, Light wine and lightly fruity. Finishes dry with oak and a long bitter pine linger. Medium body and smooth lower carbonation.

Says retired but bottle I bought is dated Nov 2016.
Pours hazy orange color. Nice head but not crazy like some said. Looks great in a tulip glass.
Nose brings out the red wine aging with some fruit from the cites ale. Interesting if not my favorite.
Taste is great. Red wine aging comes through but isn't overpowering. Got better the more I drank it. Plenty of hops and definite citrus flavor.
Mouthfwelnis substantial a little lingering bitterness. I like it.
Overall a drinkable beer with plenty of character. Would seem to go well with almost anything, food or environment, other than a really hot day on the beach!
Recommend trying it if you see it.

Poured into a standard pint a little pink tinged lighter tangerine color with a half finger white head atop,like the pink tinge.Some citric hops mixed with some of the fruity oak to go along with mild oak toast.Loved the flavors a mix of citric sharp hops and buttery oak from the barrel,some light tannins come thru as well,a well rounded palate.A very cool beer with alot going on,the barrel isn't to big.

Yeah, as other reviewers have said, POUR SLOWLY. This beer bursts like nothing I've ever seen before.
