This single barrel selection was originally brewed back in 2019. Starting with a base of locally sourced NYS Pilsner, Red Wheat, and Honey Malt, this beer was then transferred to French Oak to spend many months aging with our house culture. As we continue to explore ways to blur the lines between beer and wine with our "wine inspired" series, we found it only fitting to condition this single barrel on the lees of a regional favorite: Cabernet Franc. This offering is dry and effervescent with notes of strawberry, dried cranberries, raw honey, and sweet oak.

This one pours a golden reddish color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells pleasantly jammy, with blackberry, honey, red wine, strawberry, vanilla, and oak.
This is extremely impressive coming from Other Half. They're not exactly known for this style, or subtlety in general. This has a really wonderful fruit character here, with some dry grape skin, and a feeling of sun-kissed strawberries and blackberries. There's a touch of funky honey flavor, with oak and vanilla.
This is light bodied, clean, jammy, and just super refreshing. I could easily drink a whole bottle of this.
This is really quite well done. It's not only good for Other Half, it's just great in general.
