Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7

Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Aroma is nice with solid red wine and oak notes. Some light lemon and stone fruit notes with green grapes and pineapple. Hints of alcohol and light malt notes. Pours a somewhat hazy, pale golden orange with a medium sized, thick white head that recedes to a small film that lingers. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor has a medium light sweetness sand a bit of acidity. Light grain notes and medium bitterness. A touch of alcohol. Medium light red wine notes with a touch of oak. Some pineapple, lemon, and green grape notes with a moderate phenolic, herbal note that tends towards medicinal. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium high carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent beer. The aroma is nice, but the flavor comes up a bit short with the plastic / medicinal brett note.
