According to Black Raven, this is a White Wine Barrel Aged Blood Orange Sour Saison.

You can see/taste/smell most of that.

Appearance is golden, no head. The orange is strong in the nose, along with fairly typical saison yeast. The taste is similar, lots of orange, some yeast. The wine barrel kicks in there, as well, and then there's an unfortunate metallic aftertaste on the finish. There's quite a bit of carbonation in the mouthfeel.

Overall, I admire Black Raven for its originality. The execution isn't quite as good as the idea.
