Thanks to mrbubbler for sharing this one at his tasting.
Pours a murky orange-red with a foamy off-white head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. Tiny dots of lace drip into the remaining beer on the drink down. Smell is sour with grain, floral, red wine, and wood aromas. Taste is much the same with sour floral, red wine, wood, and acidic flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of acidity on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer with a nice mix of sour and wine barrel aged characteristics that are slightly better in the smell to me.
Serving type: bottle.
