This is a Lagunitas-ified version of a traditional Farmhouse ale, aged in red wine oak barrels and funkied up with Brettanomyces yeast. It’s a golden saison-sour with a nice tartness that leaves your buds quenched and wanting more. Proost!

12oz bottle pours a clear burnt orange, no head. Nose has candy and malt, a little salad dressing, a bit industrial. Flavor is sweet tart, some malt, leather and apple cider vinegar. Full, a little hot, high acid finish. Probably a year or two too aged.

12oz bottle. Nice wine barrel tone. At 8.2 has some body and depth. Leathery Brett. 5 years age worked pretty well.

The aromas are a combination of red wine vinegar, Oak and beer. Flavors are like nose, nicely tart with a little sweet to balance and good carbonation. Decent body and a slightly sweet tart finish.

Taste is sweet-and-sour, vinous fruity, slightly dry, funky, bretty, yeasty spicy, woody, notes of blue grapes, some oak, a touch of leather; sour, acidic finish with a touch of vinegar. Slightly oily, watery texture, astringent palate, very fine, soft, minmally prickly carbonation. Rather sour, pretty vinous - quite nice.

Bottle from Half Time in Poughkeepsie, NY. Pours clear dark copper with a foamy near-white head. Slightly tart red wine aromas. Med body. Flavor is red wine, mildly musty oak, and darker prunus fruits. Dry. Woody. Winy. Even a tad earthy. Fantastic product.

12 oz. 2020 bottle. Aroma has notes of plum, barrel, red wine, vanilla, Brett, cinnamon. Pours a hazy rosy golden hue with a one finger off-white head that falls into a big-bubbly ring after a minute. Taste is light to moderately sour (6/10), a little savory, finishing lightly to moderately bitter. Lots of the red wine barrel coming through highlighting dark fruit character. Pretty complex and very tasty.
