Pour from bottle at Zwanze Day 2012 at the Barrel Cellar. Thanks for the pour Josh! Appearance is murky brown with little-to-no head. Wood, dark fruits, light prunes, raisins, raspberries, and tannin in the aroma. Taste is pretty sour, slightly acetic, orange juice, lemon peel, peach skin, oak, and grapefruit juice with a lightly sour finish. Medium body with soft carbonation. Tasty stuff and seems to get much better with age.
