Aka "Barrel Aged Rye Belgian Blonde." Growler from Dust Bowl, consumed in Yosemite. Pours a deep, clear orange-copper color; fine-bubbled off-white head with nice lacing. Dense, honeyed aroma showing dried tropical fruits, some lightly bitter rye spiciness, and touches of charred oak and spirit; soft barrel treatment. Medium-full body; moderate CO2; while there’s a sharp amber-ale quality to this at the front of the palate (a touch of zesty mineral bitterness and caramel sweetness), that expands rapidly to include toasted wood, spicy rye notes, and hints of vanilla and dried apricots; a juicy, fruity quality throughout and a light alcohol heat as it warms. Delicious, like candied apricots aged in spirits. Medium-length finish: toastiness, light fruitiness; balanced end.

Draft. Amber beer with a nice cream colored head. Malt and yeast aroma with light fruitiness. Yeast and malt flavor with light earth, light fruitiness, and light oak. Medium bodied. Light fruitiness and light malt lingers with yeast and earthiness.
