2011 version in 2012. Pours with a hazed golden hue with a white head and good lace. Aromas are of funk, brett, wine barrel, orange zest, fruity, tangerine, peach, lots of esters. Flavors are funky, tangerine zest, mild acidity, lots of brett, wine wine, floral and fruity with a lot of esters. Medium to slightly lower carbonation. Like a less sour and somewhat more boozy version of Russian River Temptation. Very solid.

A: The pour is a hazed golden color with a small white head on top. S: Big time wine aroma, and especially a lot of white grapes. There’s a mild sweetness to it, but a nice brettiness. The Sauvignon Blanc is a nice choice of barrel and adds a little extra "wildness" and funk to the aroma. T: Mildly funky and tart. Like the nose, there is a very prominent wine character, which also adds a touch of sweetness. Some grassy funk character along with the nice oak contribution. M: Medium in body with a moderate level of carbonation. O: Really a nice beer and probably the best of all of the wine barrel aged beers I’ve had from Ladyface.
