3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pour out of 750 mL bottle from 2011, pour is nice and hazy orange-yellow with fluffy white head, very lively carbonation. Aroma has notes of big notes of sweet peaches, slight cherry, white grape with a definite wine/zinfandel grape note, hints of musty and dusty earth, touch of funky in there as well. Taste is a nice mix of sweet peach and pear notes, hints of dusty earth and slight funk but pretty restrained, sweet wine notes mix, finishing fairly dry and sweet but highly carbed to push it through the palate. Good, definitely interesting!
3.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20
750ml bottle. Pours a clear straw yellow with a fizzy white head that diminishes to a thin film that leaves a little lacing.
The aroma is sweet fruits (peaches) and some vanilla / wood with some vinous floral notes.
The flavor is sweet and slightly tart peaches and cherries leading to a dry white wine-like finish. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied and a bit watery.
Overall, an interesting fruit wheat. The barrel definitely makes it more interesting.
