Grape Squad + Reisling
Westbound & Down Brewing Company

Had this one at Sour Fest 2019 at Hops & Pie in Denver.

Pours golden like a BMCAAL, but without the clarity. Aroma wise smells just as much like white wine as it does beer. The overlapping lightly sour citrus notes are more evocative of the fruit for wine than the hops in beer. Dry woody note.

Taste has a little more of everything basically, a better beer would be tamer in terms of booziness, bitterness and acidity. Was still enjoyable though, but I tend to skew towards the wild beers that aren't so strong (9.3% here). Normally something like this finishes bone dry, but it just had too much heat for such a thing. I agree with the previous review indicating a honey like presence both in terms of viscosity, color and mouth feel. Riesling wine doesn't really jive with my tastes, so this ends up not really being on of those hybrid beer wines I get into. For me, the boozy gasoline like heat was the hardest part of this beer, that I liked, but not as much as most beers that day.

This one pours a dull and slightly hazed golden yellow color, with a small head, and a little bit of lacing.

This smells like honey, reisling grapes, lemon, melon, and citrus.

There's no real booziness to this, despite the higher ABV, but it's definitely got the thick flavor of something as strong as it is. It tastes a bit like funky honey mixed with dry white wine. There's a little bit of lemon tartness, with melon and some light citrusy sweetness.

This is thick, and honey-like in mouthfeel, with a lower leel of carbonation compared to what I expected.

Once again, this brewery has not let me down.
