Sangria inspired beer with over 50lbs of pears, oranges, limes, blueberries, pineapple, and mangoes added to both wine and brandy barrels then aged with Belgian-style wit.

Brewed in collaboration with Crown Valley Winery in Missouri.
Kegged summer 2015; drank 7/15/15 @ Fischman's.
Murky red rust appearance.
Fluffy eggshell head; decent lace.
Faintly tart strawberry notes in the nose.
Thin mouthfeel.
Wheat & faint strawberry flavors up front; a prickly carbonation bite on the finish. Nearly flavorless; similar to soda water.
Refreshing but fairly pointless.

This one was a wide array of fruit flavors; berries, oranges, pear, lemon, and lime. Light floral notes compliment the fruit well. A hint of oak comes in from the background. The problem is the oak does not compliment any of the flavors really. It just sort of interjects itself and seems misplaced. Its not a huge issue, just a quibble. Minus that though and you have a pretty nice brew.
