650ml bottle at Slack. "Vintage" 2017. 90 cases batch. Aged for 18 months in chardonnay barrel chips. Aroma is funky, some sweet wine and barrel notes. Taste is moderately sour, ascorbic, fruity, woody, winey, some chocolate notes. Quite nice.

650mL bottle, pours a hazy dark orange amber with a small white head. Aroma is super fruity, with funky notes, super fruity berries, and residual sugar. Flavour is very berry-fruity upfront, with loads of raspberries and a touch of acidity. Not sure what the hell they were going for here. Crap.

Bottle from Steamworks Liquor Store, Vancouver
Hazy red-amber color, almost no head. It smells like oxidized apple, on the verge of rotting. A bit sour, rotting apple juice flavor, light vinegar.
Terribly clumsy. Not good.

Bottle - Lots of fruit and medicinal notes with some high alcohol. Clear copper with a decent white head. Cherry, Woody and nail polish. Not great.

Hazy amber, no head. Aroma is weird - I might like this and I might not. Taste is fruity, but tart, very woody. An esoteric brew that veers towards the acetic Flemish brown ales.
