Dorothy (1921 – 1994). This wine barrel-aged version of our dry-hopped, Farmstead® pale ale is conditioned in oak barrels for 9 months prior to bottle conditioning. Crafted from American malted barley, malted wheat, New Zealand and American hops, our distinctive yeast blend and water from our well, this beer is dry hopped prior to packaging and naturally bottle conditioned.

Bottle shared by Chalumeaux--thanks, TJ! Cloudy light brown-yellow, no sparkle, no head or lacing. Aroma is strong sweet citrus followed by milder tart fruit/bacteria. Taste is strong tart/sweet fruit, tart fruit/bacteria. Smooth texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Strong aromas/flavors, more tart than I prefer but well made.

750 ml bottle. Batch 4, 2019. Aroma is soft white wine, mild minerals, and some lemons. flavor follows the aroma and is absolutely delicious. Super soft mouthfeel with minerals and light lingering lemons. Wonderful experience.

very light golden color. Light oak, apricot and peaches and cream, hay and barnyard character. Light body, fairly tart, mildly funky, firm carbonation. The palate is just perfect. Fairly dry. With the yeast you get lemon meringue and very tart and funky Fucking excellent

Very vinous, heavy white wine grape notes, rich mouthfeel, low carbonation. Not super funky, a little oak. Not super brett forward on the nose or palate. Super smooth overall.
