On tap at Harry G's New York Deli in Rochester, NY.
This one pours a super foamy hazy orange- it took forever to pour. It has a large foamy whipped-egg-looking head, with a lot of lacing.
Smells like soft citrusy Brett, a hint of oak, white wine, orange, pineapple, and mango.
The barrel-aging is pretty mild, as it comes across in the taste, with just a small smidgen of oak, and a hint of white wine acidity. There's some pillowy, chalky, and citrusy funk here, from the Brett, and soft mango, pineapple, and orange, with a hint of grapefruit acidity. I believe this beer was brewed about two years ago- the hop character seems to have lessened, and the Brett is coming even more to the forefront, which is fun.
This has a lower level of carbonation, with a very soft and pillowy mouthfeel- very pleasant.
This is a pretty cool beer. It feels a little muted at times, and the carbonation is a little too low, but overall, it was very enjoyable to try.

22oz bottle poured into a tulip
A: Light brown, very hazy with a 1/2-finger head that quickly settles to a thin lacing
S: Chardonnay, sour apple, light grain
T: Kind of a weird oaky/bitter without much of the sour notes that came through on the nose
M: Medium-bodied, bitter
O: Not sure how I feel about this one. Interesting beer but struggled to finish the bottle. Again fairly bitter but not from traditional hops; I think more sour on the palate would spice it up

A: Pours hazy gold producing a creamy, moussey, 2” off-white foam collar that grips the side of the glass leaving thick ledges of lace.
S: Fruit, grapes, white wine, fresh herbs.
T: Some large pitted fruit and citrus with some sweetness but finishes dry. The bitterness is big on the finish but it is well rounded and is well balanced by the malt.
F: medium body, above average carbonation with a super creamy texture.
O: A very refreshing IPA with a luscious creamy texture.

The beer comes in a golden orange.
The aroma hits of stone fruit, sweet apricot, a touch of honey, white wine, and hay funk.
The flavor follows with the dry wine notes, then onto stone fruit flavors, on the back is almost a spicy saison quality with breadiness and oak finishing off the beer.
A great balance of Brett, hops, fruit, and barrel.

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours slightly hazy deep orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with some light streaming carbonation. Aromas of big grapefruit, lemon zest, orange peel, pineapple, pear, apple, tannic white wine, oak, light vanilla, pepper, herbal, grass, light honey, bread, light funk, and yeast/oak earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/spicy brett, wine barrel, citrus hops, and pale malt notes; with good strength. Taste of big grapefruit, lemon zest, orange peel, pineapple, pear, apple, tannic white wine, oak, light vanilla, pepper, herbal, grass, light honey, bread, light funk, and yeast/oak earthiness. Fair amount of tannic tartness, citrus peel bitterness, and yeast spice on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, lemon/orange zest, pineapple, pear, apple, white wine, oak, light vanilla, pepper, light honey, bread, light funk, and herbal/yeast/oak earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice complexity and robustness of fruity/spicy brett, wine barrel, citrus hops, and pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness/tartness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and fairly crisp/acidic mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is an excellent wine barrel aged brett IPA. All around great balance, robustness, and complexity of fruity/spicy brett, wine barrel, citrus hops, and pale malt flavors; and very smooth and crisp to sip on with balanced acidity. A very enjoyable offering.
