Foeder Saison - Malbec
Pathlight Brewing

 

Pours a bright ruby red that carries a little fog to the transparency. Aroma is bright and fleshy grapes. Stone, grass, and heavy funk follow grapes, with the emphasis through and through being grapes. Flavor profile is fleshy grapes. Grass, bread, mild earthy malts, and tart oak add chapters to each sip. It's fruit forward, but quickly shifts towards tart. Mouth feel is medium in thickness with a mostly still texture that starts of prickly. Overall, a quite funky little brew that uses fleshy grapes to add initial sweetness before it folds into tart underlying notes.

Draft pour. Reviewed from notes.
