2006, 10/13/07: Light amber w/ a lasting white, medium sized stand of fine and tight bubbles. Bretty & floral aroma w/ a hint of lime leaf Bready malt, wood oak, hints of red wine. Spicy yeast (peppery) and more floral. Well balanced flavor, lightly woody flavor, earthy, very mildly tart; Bready malt... Crisp flavor, dry finish w/ a woody and herbal aftertaste. Fruity from the wine barrel and yeast. Lighter medium body, medium carbonation, warming alcohol. Not bad... A bit more aging might help smooth out the rough edges. Would probably go well with some salmon or other light fish.

Aug 6, 2008 07 Bottle. Pours a beautiful coppery color with a substantial off-white head. Aroma is oak, vineous, light fruits, light funk. Flavor is caramel, oak, vineous, some fruit, hint of vanilla, yeast. Palate is medium to full bodied, medium plus on the carbonation, finished dry with some light tartness! Very good, probably the best offering I’ve had from Allagash.

Aug 4, 2008 @ Tylers Apex location. Good aroma, Sour. Fruity, raspberry, cherry. Yeasty, vinegary. Hazed golden orange color, Ok head & lace. Sour, sweet flavor. Like aroma with the oak adding a vanilla quality. Medium body, creamy smooth mouthfeel, dry tart finish. Tasty, overall I didn’t enjoy that much. I don;t know if it’s the wine streak about it, but it was slow to finish.

Aug 3, 2008 750ml. january 07 vintage. cloudy burnt oragnge color. tight bead and fluffy pillow like head. aroma is of red wine strong and distinct. does not smell like beer at all. minimal lacing is present. musty wild yeast aroma is accompanied by some citrus. super funky like a brett saison with red wine notes intertwined. very dry on the finish with sour-ish overtones. odd odd odd. a very unique beer to say the least.

Aug 1, 2008 Thanks to the Ohio crew at the JP release. Poured a cloudy golden color. Great nose, funk, yeast, bit of dough. I believe I described the flavor as "rounded" while drinking it. Great soft funk that clings to the barrel, soft cherry and vanilla. I showed up and had a glass of this minutes later. Thanks crew, hope you had a safe drive home!
