A wine barrel aged Saison. From the Growler station at Liquor Shed in Casper.
It looks like a typical American Adjunct Lager, complete with the lack of a long lasting head of foam and lacing.
The nose is VERY fruity with a veritable multitude of fruits that I could describe. Cherry, blackberry, grape; it's whatever YOU can pull out from the wine barrel aging, that counts. It hasn't completely lost its roots, being a Saison at heart; it has spice, pepper and a bit of clove and that typical farmhouse smell if your nose is up to it.
The taste is a good balance between a Saison and what wine barreling can do with the style. Read each and every word I mentioned in the smell. Copy it. Paste it in the description of the taste, perhaps, a notch or 2 lower as there's a smoothness that doesn't expose itself in the smell.
An aggressive 2nd pour from the Howler gives me about an inch of short lived foam and lacing but I still dig that wine/saison smell and taste.
Medium bodied, pretty light carbonation. good mouthfeel and a very interesting thing done here by Upslope. I like.
