Quintessence 2016. Light hazy golden with thin white head. Very fruity hoppy nose. Sweet grain, vegetal and fruity hops. Light nutty sour, cheesy. Light sour on light sweet base with medium bitterness. Thin body, slightly watery feel, low carbonation. Nice, more IPA-ish than sour-ale. --- Beer merged from original tick of Agullons Barrica Blend N° 01 on 21 Nov 2017 at 21:45 - Score: 7. Original review text: 3.8

Bottle sampled at Quintessence. Slight hazy golden with small head. Lots of herbs on the nose and sweaty cheese, sweat, soft lactic notes, grains and dried herbs. Wow this is quite sweaty. Light sweet and bitter with light tart touch. Under medium bodied with quite some carbonation. 3.3 bottle at RGESG16 less sweaty and more farmyard. Not bad!

750 ml. bottle sampled @ Quintessence 2016. Aged Barrica if I understand correctly (for one year) – aged on barrels blended with fresh Barrica. Not sure about barrels used, guy manning the stand wasn’t from the brewery & didn’t appear to be familiar with their beers. Very hazy orange, little creamy off-white head. Nose is sour, thick milky with some oak & vinegar . Taste is thick & milky, rotting fruit, stone fruit, milky yeast, weird spoiled stone fruit, low oak & good amount of Cava. Milky yeast body. Confusing & muted, less butter than some of the other beers based on Barrica, overall overly milky & odd. Not as bad as other said but not that great either. Liked the aged base beer more.
