Bottle. Is very lightly cloudy gold in color with a small head. Aroma is of a pleasant Belgian ale. Taste is a wonderful ly balanced ale with nice notes of spiciness with hints of red wine barrel. Really nice beer.

On tap at Goodwood, pours a cloudy amber orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out saison yeast upfront, with a touch of red wine. Flavour is shy on the red wine barrels, with a little wood, lots of saison yeast and some funk. Dry on the palate, with the wood (but no wine) notes coming out more. Okay.

Pour is a hazy red with a medium white head. Aroma is a nice oak with some vinous notes. Flavor is again some oak with a little red wine vinegar especially after the swallow. Not very saison-like but if you like "just a beer" aged in wine barrels this is a nice pick up.

12oz bottle into small stemless wine glass. Bottled on January 2017. Ummmm, red wine barrel my ass. Maybe like 5% of this was but the rest is not. Fuck that bullshit. Otherwise, not sweet, mildly estry, a bit peppery at the end with some dry herbal finishing. Kind of dull and definitely no barrel ride wine aspects. So, poorer score for mus representation.

Bottle from J’s. Pours a clear, deep gold to light amber with a tiny head that dissipates instantly. Bit of pear, oak in the nose. Light base beer with some soft carbonation, like flat cola. Vanilla, light vinous notes. Don’t really get how this is a saison but there is some wine barrel character. Not really my cup of tea. --- Beer merged from original tick of Red Wine Barrel Saison on 29 May 2017 at 23:03 - Score: 6. Original review text: Bit of pear, oak in the nose.

Severely lacking in the look, feel, or aroma of a saison, and not doing all that well in the taste department, either. Pours rather flat with little lacing, and the nose hits a mild grassy note with hints of corn and cabernet. Tastes like a watered-down traditional saison that was bottled in the vicinity of a wine barrel; modest bits of hay and grain mingle with a corn sweetness that grows increasingly cloy as it warms, and the slightest hint of red wine and oak tint the yeasty fade. Not good, ’Wood.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear gold with small frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is corn, honey, yeast. Medium body, honey, grape, yeast, spice, light finish, very good.

Apple, mild funk, nose. Clear amber, thin head. Lemongrass flavor. Medium body, easy carbonation. Solid, none of the red wine barrel character showed, not as complex as expected.

Bottle: Pours slightly hazy, orange-amber with a thin white head. Fruit, red wine, wood scent. Taste is slightly yeasty, a little basement, red wine, citrus. Sweet ....with a slight grassy bitter. Light.....not much to it, but OK.
