Enjoyed on tap at the brewery today.
A - Poured a nice slightly hazy light brown with a thin head that fades to leave nice lacing and a thin wispy head.
S - Aromas of vinous wine notes, decent malt sweetness. Good fruity hops. Pleasant malts.
T - Taste is similar to the nose with loads of sweeter malts and wine. The hops are nice and lightly floral. The finish gets a bit sticky and cloy though.
M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, nice body bit heavy.
O - Overall this was a very cloy on the finish. The wine is nice but really sweet. Hops are totally floral yet sweet. An improvement on the base beer though.

Draft at brewery
Big creamy head decent retention good lacing, hazy brownish orange color
Nose citrus and white grape winy aroma, sweet candy malt and orange icing, sweet candy malt, little doughy reddish malt,
Taste big winey flavours, white wine, Madeira sweet white wine, candy orange icing, doughy toasted malt, generic light fruity, citrus rind, but also raw resinous piney hop oils and little almost spoiled oil, medium to higher bitterness, but big sweet malt balance, orange apple fruit mix sticky sweet finish big bitterness lingering
Mouth is med to fuller bod, good carb some warming alcohol
Overall not terrible but the flavors start good but clash with the raw piney oily hop characters
