UPDATED: DEC 11, 2022 On tap at Gourmet Haus in Redwood City. Deep purple color. Very vinous: more of a wine than a beer. Medium acidity: 25% acetic, 75% lactic. Wonderful aroma.

UPDATED: DEC 7, 2021 Bottle thanks to Chow. Pours an amber purple with small beige head. The aroma is grape skin, oak, funk. Slick body, grape, cherry, oak, leather, nice tartness, enjoyed this.

UPDATED: APR 6, 2021 Bottle. Pours clear purple-burgundy with a small fizzy white head. Aroma has tons of grape must, basement funk, hints of cherry, oak tannin. Flavor is light plus tart, medium funk, vinous. Medium body, low carbonation. Good.

UPDATED: APR 26, 2020 Bottle pours mostly clear burgundy with a quickly fizzing head. Aroma is great Pinot noir grape skin/must, blackberry, oak, barnyard funk. Flavor is super nice, medium tart, somewhat tannic, big dry pinot noir flavor. Medium body, big long finish with good carbonation. Very solid, maybe a tad shy of but still up there with the original version that was amazing.

UPDATED: SEP 27, 2019 Thanks Walt for sharing the bottle! Taster showing dark vinous red with sparse quickly dissipating foam. The nose shows pronounced notes of dried cherry and cherry pie. The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. Moderately tart and lightly sweet with forward notes of cherry throughout.

UPDATED: SEP 27, 2019 Slightly cloudy inky purple color. It smells like I’ve walked into a basement full of cobwebs and dust. It’s musty down here. Oh what’s that over in the corner!? Some of grapes. Yum. I bite in, wow it’s sour, funkiness is modest. Fairly dry. The grape character lingers and lingers. Wow. Very nice.
