Mar 6, 2010 On tap at Beachwood BBQ. Pours orange with almost no head. The aroma is sour fruit with mild vinous, barrel notes. The flavor is tart fruit, yeast, and a dry brett, barrel finish. Grapes from the wine barrels permeate the brew. I enjoyed this beer for what it is.

Feb 24, 2010 Pours a murky orangish-brown with a white head. The aroma is light sour with oak, sour apple and vanilla. The flavor is tart apple with oak, lemon and vanilla. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. A very nice sour that has a lot of flavors besides just sourness.

Feb 23, 2010 A: The pour from a 2009 bottle is a hazy light amber color with a finger’s worth of white foam.
S: A very nice lactic acid presence combined with a nice must and barnyard funkiness. Some apple, white grapes, and mild citrus round out the nose.
T: The flavor has a nice lemony lactic acidity to go along with a mild but impressive funkiness. The grapes are present in the flavor as well, providing a nice vinous character that works well with the oak.
M: As I previously mentioned the beer has a nice dryness and tannic character which I enjoy in a wild ale. The carbonation level is moderate and works well.
D: A nice offering from Allagash. I found it to be slightly more enjoyable than Confluence and some of their other beers. I’d definitely recommend this one and would have no problem with having it again.
