What Our Editors Thought
“Strong oak in the aroma, with a touch of yeasty umami and bits of pink grapefruit and desiccated blood orange. Pink lemonade in the flavor, with a resounding sweetness that amps up the citrus tones, balanced by citric tartness.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Super-groovy funk notes in the aroma: leather, horse blanket, hints of lemon. Nice acidic bite and a pleasant sourness, tannic notes, and hints of oak and vanilla.”
What the Brewers Say
“Fermented on Brettanomyces, saison, and Lactobacillus strains.”
