6.6% Belgian Brown Ale aged 3 months in Calloway Vineyard’s red wine oak barrels with cinnamon, nutmeg (fresh, hand-ground) and Pumpkin. Some special wild yeast gives it a cherry pie tart flavor and the spices are gracefully subtle. The red wine helps with some tang, too.

Blind tasting at Papsø’s
Muddy amber color; small head. The aroma is light, mixing some fruits, vegetables; but also a very light and nice sourness, Bretts. Dry mouthfeel, citrus fruits sourness, light yeasty caramel flavor the final is medium sour. It can be a fake lambic, but quite confused and not convincing.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet and acidic with notes of brettanomyces, lacto, wood, and citrus fruits as well as lighter notes of hops. The flavor is sweet combined with an acidity and with notes of malt and lemon as well as lighter notes of wood, leading to a tart fruity finish. The acidity burns lightly on the palate.
