This Sour Blonde Ale is aged in red and white wine barrels housing a native Brett strain, further aged on chopped, zested, & juiced grapefruit. It pours hazy, deep gold with aromas of fresh grapefruit juice, drifting into dusty lemon and fruity, vinous character. The brewer's hand-selected from a dozen different barrels to be blended and aged on whole grapefruits for a beautiful marriage of wood-aged sour beer and fresh grapefruit.

At the tap room into a snifter. Pours a hazy golden apricot with a thin crown of eggshell head that quickly subsides to a ring. Faint musty white wine barrels and a little grapefruit pulp on the nose...the notes are nice but not a lot of potency or depth. There is a little promise of sour in the nose, along with the mustiness, and that is more pronounced when it hits the tongue, and it develops nicely with the white grape and grapefruit flavors. The latter is fully present throughout, but unfolds nicely, giving you lots of pulp but also a little tartness at the outset and then more juiciness, and ending with some rind and a fairly dry feel, and a little pucker. Low to middle carb. Very enjoyable
