3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
750mL pouring at RBSG Grand Tasting. Pours a full haze, deep orange. Medium carbonation. Acid cut foam. Nose is cherry pith, red wine, oak, cinnamon, soft farmhouse notes but not Brett all the way. Taste is cinnamon pie, sugar, some hot butyric acid, small acetic heat. Comes off as a sweet and sour blend. Zippy and aerated palate. Pretty nice. Some brewing flaws but it comes across still as yummy.
