What Our Editors Thought
“Assertive flavors of blueberry, blackberry, and cherry come together seamlessly for a complex first sip. A touch of astringency builds into a tannic dryness, highlighting the red-wine-barrel character through the finish.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Low-medium aroma with berry and a hint of almond. Sharp tartness. Lightly tart berry notes throughout. A kiss of acetic acid lends complexity without tipping into the vinegar realm. The barrel and acidity outpace the berry flavors.”
What the Brewers Say
“Wine barrel–aged sour ale conditioned on blueberries and blackberries.”
