Red Wine Solera Farmhouse Ale
The product of 3 years into our small batch red wine solera program. Brewed with Motueka hops for a twist on the classic saison profile. Effervescent, bright, complex and dry.

Stupid plastic pint cup @the source. Sorta hazy, lemon honey pour, lingering froth. Sharp, honey, bittergreen, veggy. Lemon, honey wax, herby, old wood, veg, lime peel astringency, wheat, faint oxidation, lingering bitter lettuce, nutty spent finish. Tart, frothy, boozy, leather. Okay to good. Could be better if they gave me a glass.

This bottle has the distinction of being my 10,000th rate. 750ml bottle pours a starbright gold with some soapy, white head. Nose is nice, soft with grist, lemon, some baby powder. Flavor is flowers, light grist, lemon, perfume. Finishes slick but dry. Could be better on all fronts. So fitting my 10,000th rate came from a bottle shared at a Ratebeer tasting. Many thanks to those currently in the DC tasting group and all those who have been a part of it over the years. Many thanks to my other, non-Ratebeerian friends who I've rated with over the past 13 years. Many, many thanks to my family and especially my wife who have put up with my rating over the years and have tagged along on so many obscure brewery trips. Thanks to Ratebeer, which has encourage my interests in beer since I joined in 2006. Ratebeer exists because of people and community and my life is more full because of the people and community I've found through Ratebeer.

750ml bottle at the late December DC RB Tasting. Poured a very slightly hazy, dark yellow color with a small, nice looking off-white head. Aroma was nice funky notes. Light sweetness, with a little bit of wine, wood, and mild tart funky notes. Very pleasant.

From a 750 ml bottle shared at the RB Dec 30, 2018, gathering. It is a cloudy effervescent light yellow with an off white head. The aroma is floral and herbal. The taste is tart with hints of pineapple
