2009 Vintage at 8.33% The aroma is fairly vinous with moderate acidity and moderate fruitiness. The fruit is mostly grape but there is also a dominant golden plum note with fainter notes of cherry and tropical fruit. Pours a slightly cloudy golden color with a thin white head that quickly recedes though bubbles steadily come to the surface. Flavor starts sweet but there is only faint malt character. The moderately high acidity hits quickly. Mid palate the vinous and grape notes appear along with the fruitiness to balance it. The finish has lingering acidity and a light oak note. There is also some grape notes present in the finish. Low bitterness to balance the sweetness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and the beer has medium high carbonation. Low acidic astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall a very enjoyable beer that has held up to the test of time. The malt character has definitely faded but the acidity is still clean and crisp as is the fruit. I might like a bit of a barnyard note though to balance the fruit and acidity.
