Hudson Valley Brewery

 

 

 

Can from the brewery in Beacon, NY. Pours a deep dark hazy ruby red with a finger of light pink head that dissipates to a lacy ring around the edges, great lacing, smell is fizzy musty red wine, Welch’s grape soda, cran-grape juice, jammy blackberry and plum flesh, rose petal, and frutti di bosco juice, hints of vanilla, prune, watermelon jolly rancher, and raspberry tootsie roll pop, taste is sweet and sour jammy red wine, rose petal, sour plum skin and plum flesh, overripe/jammy blackberry, fruit leather, hints of vanilla, cranberry, raspberry, prunes, and frutti di bosco, feel is medium to full bodied, soft and velvety carbonation, decently tannic/acidic. A complex and elegant fruit forward red wine treat that ticks all the boxes, looks, smells, tastes, and feels beautiful. Yum!
