What Our Editors Thought

Strong caramel and vinegar notes on the nose feel more Flanders than golden sour. The sip is soft, the acidity reasonably controlled despite aroma hit. Light wood tannins emerge with soft oak, vanilla, orange, lemon—but it's hard to overcome that acid shock.

What Our Panel Thought

Aroma of apricot, blueberries, tropical fruit, lemons, horse blanket, wet hay, leather. In the flavor, lemony acidity leans acetic—puckering—with apricot, orange, blueberry, red fruit. Dry. Nice change of pace. Fairly easy drinking. Relatively lacking in complexity.

What the Brewers Say

Blend of one-, two-, three-, and four-year-old beers spontaneously fermented in barrels.
