Poured from a bottle. Aroma is very chardonnay. Some pear and tropical fruit notes with a bit of stone fruit. Lots of buttery wine notes. Pours a hazy, golden orange with a small, thin white head that recedes to the edges where it lingers. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly acidic with moderate white wine oak notes. Some tropical and stone fruit notes with a bit of citrus. Some light cracker notes with a bit of pineapple and buttery notes. Low bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice beer, but the white wine notes are very buttery. Some nice fruit notes with some light grain and bread notes. Not as oxidized as I expected.
