12.7 oz bottle, 3-4 years old. Pours slightly hazy dark gold with a small white head that quickly goes to a thin collar.

The aroma is sweet grapes and dry white wine with a little tartness and funk.

The flavor is sweet fruit (grapes and apple) with a lot of tart lactic sourness and a little funk and some vinous notes. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with low carbonation.

Overall, a nice sour.

This poured out as a golden color with a slight haze to it. Thin white head on top that fades quickly. The smell of the beer is funky, definitely white grape notes in there though. The taste of the beer is similar to the aroma, I thought the taste of the beer is excellent. The feel is good, sweet upfront then some sour notes and finished with a grainy aftertaste. Overall I really enjoyed this one.
