The idea for this second bottle came from the slightly lesser-known and obscure world of orange wines. Though orange wines can mean many things, we simply wanted to create a blend that would showcase a stunning orange hue. To achieve this profile, we selected two vastly different mature fruited barrels to blend together. The first barrel contained mature beer that had previously aged on an absurd amount of native and locally grown scuppernong grapes. The second had previously aged on native, Ohio-grown paw paw fruit. The marriage of these fruit barrels created the most beautiful orange color we have ever achieved in a beer.

Keg (may have been a bottle) at CW Family & Friends, Session 2 @Manchester Central, 22/02/20. Hazed orange with an off white cap. Nose is funk, damp wood, sharp citric zest, wood must, apricot, stoned fruits, light acidic nostril tickle. Taste comprises funk, dry rot, tangy citric shreds, lemon rind, herb, wood must, green berry must. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a rising acidic spike. Decent full on sour.

750ml clear bottle thanks to rich pours out hazy golden topped with a small fizzy head. Nose is tart funky citrus some grape and berries maybe. Taste is more of the citrus forward tart pucker notes some grape and the paw paw I guess.
