Four pack picked up from the taproom today - hazy dark gold with a moderate lace - nose of soft peach, white wine, light spice, deep oak, very light funkiness - it's actually smells quite nice; deep but delicate - the same can be said of the flavor - soft carbonation - sweet on the approach, but not cloyingly so - peach, white grape/wine must, prickly spiciness, soft oak, very mild funkiness - lingering, spicy finish, with oak hanging on for a while and drying out the palate - it's really good!
