This assemblage comprises nine beers conditioned in wine barrels and puncheons for spans between 4 and 15 months. Packaged in May 2018, the hopeful maturation of this blend has required nearly three years in the bottle. The result, much like Blend 30, is a delicate, complex, pleasantly tart expression of time, barrel, and nature that will achieve for several more years. Given its long conditioning time and lively effervescence, we recommend presenting this at 40ºF/4ºC.

A short, bubbly white head rests over a wedding band golden body that's mostly clear but for a light sheen.
White grape and wine barrel meet a prickly carbonation via a fluid medium-light body that further exhibits stonefruit qualities accented by what almost seems like yellow raspberry. It becomes drying and almost splintery after a minute.

Crisp, tart lemon, white grape and a bit of tangy green apple. Damp grain sweetness, a bit of wheat comes through. Even a bit of wet hay lingers through on the finish. Nice mellow oak seems to add body, almost a subtle tannic slickness. That’s great.
