This American Wild Ale was initially fermented in an oak foudre and then split into Cabernet Sauvignon barrels prior to final fermentation with Vermont wildflower honey and a generous amount of local Yellow Anne raspberries from Fisher Brothers Farm. This beautiful pale yellow beer is twists your mind as it erupts with the aroma fresh raspberry. This follows with a light funk, pineapple, and slight vanilla.

2024 375mL bottle shared by CLW on 6/20/26.
Rich, intense, beautiful yellow raspberry with soft, minimal oak and soft wheat. Low acidity but ample. Juicy and mild funk with lingering oak and malt.
Zippy and tart in the flavor but the acid doesn't cause cringing. Juicy raspberry, moderate lactic culture and soft, gentle oak tannin providing structure. Never fatigues and the malt is light enough. As the raspberry and oak fade, some fruity, acidic, rich red wine picks up its place. For all that's going on here, which is a lot, it just manages to remain lively and fun and doesn't bog down too much in wood and acid.
