Bottle from Wine & Cheese. Pours a rather brownish copper with slight small bubbles. Aroma is sour/funky/oak. Med body. Flavor is moderate sour/funky/oak with a touch of wine. Sadly also a touch of remembrance of Rogue Beard Beer. This is really rather mild, but it’s really rather delicious. Surprising! Get it if you can.

Pours a clear copper with virtually no foam.
The smell is of tart fruit mixed with some sweet fruit and a nice woody aroma from the oak aging. Hints of Brett...
The taste is tart and sweet from the fruit with a goodly woody character and some notes of Brett, which is mostly mid palate. It finishes on the tart side and has a long aftertaste.
On the low side of medium bodied, lightish carbonation. Good mouthfeel.
Overall, a very enjoyable American Wild Ale.
