Bottle shared at RBWG and another from Savvy1982 via trade -- thanks, Kyle! Pours golden in color with a substantial white head. Loaded with...everything. If you said the word out loud, you would probably start tasting it in this beer. It’s like a mood ring! Notes of apple skins, tannins, flowers, cheese, and caramel are all present in the aroma and flavor. A great balance of sour and sweet. The depth is pretty amazing.

12 ounce bottle thanks to Dany! Pours a somewhat clear golden color with a large white head. The aroma is awesome funky and woody Brett and vinous notes. The flavor is more mellow with noticeable tart and vinous notes, dry, apples, a rich blonde ale.
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
bottle thanks to Alex... dark peach with a light off white head... smells outstanding, tons of sweet smooth white wine with a little oak, I’m vexed as to how this was aged with a red wine... the taste is a bit boring, light yeast with a bit of lemons, the finish is very dry, ok but didn’t live up to the nose
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
bottle during RBWG-hazy yellow huge with a small fluffy white head. crazy nose-butterscotch, green apples, sharp cheese, vineous, estery (flowers and lemon) with lite alcohol (probably from the barrel-booze)-these notes all show up in the flavors with an added sourness, especially on the finish. very tasty and really unique twist on this style. i will probably never be able to have this beer again so im glad i had this sample!
