Bottle at Phil Lowry’s house. Cheers Phil. It definitely had some white wine grape character. It had decent sourness as well. Maybe a bit boozy, but the white wine grape character was very good and it did have some decent sourness to it as well. A beer that definitely stood out during a beer drinking day.

Bottle @ chriso. Pours a hazy yellow color with a small white head. Has a fruity tart funky wine aroma. Fruity sour tart citrus and wine flavor with oaky hints. Has a fruity sour tart finish.

bottle at chriss ... golden amber ... sour funky barnyard nose ... fizzy ... light sour ... white wine ... dull fruits .. not me at all

cloudy orange, practically no head. nice mild sour base to some interesting aroma notes. citrus, bitterness (brett), flavor is sour, citrussy, brett, faint berries, wood. tastes really good, nice fresh winey notes from the grapes mixes very well with the sour notes, the sweeter notes balance.

Bottle from Bu11zeye, through Dedollewaitor. Thanks a lot! Cloudy orange with a small off-white head. Intense aroma of black currant and other berries, with some wood. Sweet, but tart flavour with berries and wood.

Corekd bottle from Hoppymeal, thanks! Orange color. Oak, vanilla and muscat grapes in the aroma. Sourish flavor with lots of oak, vanilla, ginger and grapes. Some rest sweetness from the grapes, not much. Hints of tangerine peels. Quite interesting and complex beer.

Bottle shared by Marcus. Pours hazy woody amber with 3-fingers of fluffy off-white head. Strong vinous aroma. Aspects of sour. Medium body and frothy carbonation. Flavor is grapey, whiteish grapey, sour. Very nice, subtle sour. Goes very well with Mt Tam cheese. Finishes deliciously and smoothly sour. It’s very nice stuff.
