750ml ml bottle given to me by fellow Wyoming BA, wyoming. Thank you!!

I popped the cap while holding the bottle over a sink. You can never tell with these wild ales and I was tempting fate by not chilling it beforehand.

No immediate reaction so I let out an audible "whew. Oops, as I started to back away from the sink. And so started a slow but constant ooze. I grabbed my glass and poured some in but the oozing continued and I lost a few ounces.

On to the review, this Wild Ale being aged in Sauvignon Blanc barrels.

It pours a cloudy orange yellow with a tiny and short lived head of foam. No lacing. I see some sediment in my first pour.

The smell is, well, of peaches, in all their glory! With a subtle bitterness, it's like they threw in the skins as well. The barrel aging is obvious if you've ever had that wine before.

The taste is true to the smell in every way. Peaches that are very tart and slightly bitter, a vinous character that blurs the line between beer and wine. You better LOVE peaches if you're going to pick this one up.

Fairly light bodied without getting watery, also pretty light with the carbonation; I reckon that a lot of it escaped when I opened the bottle.

Overall, a real treat that needs more investigating from BAs like you!
