Thanks to Todd for sharing this one- it was a definite surprise. On draft at Charlie and Jake’s. Pours hazy yellow with a white head. Nose is tart apple, vinegar, oak, red delicious apples, cider, and a vinous tartness. Flavor is similar- a light saison with apple and wood. The wood and the saision compliment each other nicely and the vinegar character just adds another layer. Light to medium bodied saison finishing with vinegar and wood.

Served up on tap at the Charlie and Jake’s brewpub with clear gold body and thin white to bright white head. The aroma starts spicy oak and some spicy yeast but as it warms it picks up and is taken over by fresh sliced ripe green apple wedges. The taste is a bit odd yet interesting with bold spicy oak, some crisp spicy yeast and then becoming mildly vinegar like to midway. It picks up notes of dry white wine before spicy oak takes over again and delivers this to the finish. Cool brew.
