Late Harvest was a larger annual release that revolved around a malty saison base with a rotating set of botanicals/spices and barrel aging. The 2013 brew was reduced to only three casks, all previously used for California Syrah. Because they are showing individual character, we decided to keep them separate in single cask bottlings. This is the first of those (the remaining two are continuing an extended maturation). The brew used whole lemons for a big citric acidity, a muna muna, a minty and earthy herb collected in the mountains of northern argentina that is traditionally used as a digestive tea or flavorful addition to yerba mate. The beer warms to a tart, layered profile where the syrah shows smoothly on the finish.

I love when small breweries "show off" and make their best. I think that this is one of those cases. No one has yet to write a review for this one and it must be said simply how fantastic and literally "gulpable" this wonderful beer is. We tried bottle #15 of 45. I'm going to say it so close your eyes if you don't want to read it....fucking wonderful! There; it's said.
Light brown, light yellow head. light elegant sweet fruit nose; flavor profile of peaches, mixed fruit with floral tones and just elegant and delicious. I couldn't get enough. If there's another bottle out there....anywhere...go out of your way to try it. This one is a huge treat.
