Blonde Ale aged in used Chardonnay barrels from local Sonoma County wineries. It is aged for about 9 to 15 months (depending on the age of the barrel) with lots of brettanomyces, lactobacillus, and pediococcus added to each barrel. Medium bodied with hints of oak and Chardonnay, funky brett characteristics, with a nice, long sour finish.

On tap at brewpub. Hazy pale gold pour. Excellent lacing. Yeasty, funky, oakey aroma. Plenty of farmhouse funk. Bready, tangy, citrusy and herbaceous flavor. Quite amazing. Tart, enduring finish.

Pours murky gold into a tulip. Barnyard and aspirin aromas. Soft with sour grape, crushed aspirin funk and dry oak front to back. Tart grapefruit pith/peel and earthy sour funk finish. This one grows on you...

Bottle: pours golden with a white head. Aroma is winy, woody, little funky. Light wine notes, barrel notes, not too acidic, doesn't hit you over the head. Sour. Slight sweetness. Pretty good.

Bottle thanks to Maxi. Pours hazy bright orange with a small white head. Aromas of brett, pineapple, citrus, mango, estery. Taste is super oaky, grapey, bretty, crackers, peach, tart and light bitter finish. Very delicious.

Batch #3, from Solan. Thanks! Blonde, cloudy, foamy head. Lemon, grapefruit and leather in the aroma. Sour, oaky flavor with vinous notes, leather, lemon and flowery hops. Astonishing, complex and delicious beer!
