A: Pours an opaque, murky purple color. A small white head forms and recedes to nothing quickly.
S: This is a berry fruit salad. With some grapes and vinous wine character. Not much else to say...
T: A bit more of note here. That berry fruit salad character is up front and center. This becomes more tart and acidic. With some vanilla and grape oaky/vinous wine tannin flavors.
M/O: A medium to full body. Moderate carbonation that becomes viscous, slick, and tannin like. Interesting to try once, and I did enjoy it, but can't say I want to have another.

Saint Arnold has played around with a "funky" Chardonnay wine barrel aged beer before. Specifically with their Christmas Ale...which I have always loved. This, however doesn't hit that spot for me. Its perfectly fine, and actually a good stand in for some kind of "sangria" for lack of a better term. Though the funky Brett is too muted, and the IPA is all but lost. I appreciate the try, but prefer other offerings they have done in a similar vain.
