Wild Ale aged in red and white wine barrels with brettanomyces, then blended & re-fermented with pink guava, blood orange, blackberries & raspberries.

A: Pours a bubbly and pale reddish/pink color. A very minimal white head tries to form, but recedes to nothing in a second. No lace, which is not surprising.
S: Vinous up front for sure. Grapes, berries, orange peal (at least thats what I think I get in the nose). Lots of fruits that all mix together, and hard to pick one out over the other. Still enjoyable.
T: Like the nose, vinous grapes, orange peal, tannin city going on as well. Like the nose a grab bag of different fruit flavors. Either from the wine barrels or the additives. Hard to make out anything specific though. Tart and acidic. Like the nose, it is still enjoyable.
M/O: A very light body and lots of effervescent carbonation up front. The carbonation almost fizzles away, and doesn't last all the way to the finish . Very tannin like which becomes a little astringent. Though overall, something I did enjoy and would probably get again. Not the perfect wine barrel aged Wild Ale, but I do still like it.

This reminds me of a lighter, more tannin like version of Saint Arnold's Bishop Barrel when they do the Christmas Ale with cherry, Brett, and aged in wine barrels. I don't think it is at that level, but still good and enjoyable. I would recommend if you see it around town, but feel it is not as dialed in as it could be.
