Turbid gold - nicely executed barrel aging with this one - soft texture - medium sweet on the approach, with some melon and citrus, but with a cutting acidity as the barrel character builds up - light funkiness - toasted oak and moderate tannins and buttery notes from the cab - moderate bitterness and tartness finish, as some.phenolics from the base beer come through - nice balance of sweet, tart, and bitter.
