Barrel aged saison with boysenberries.
Appreciation is a barrel-aged farmhouse ale fermented with boysenberries and our resident funk. After several months in red wine barrels it has taken on a mouth-watering acidity a whiff of the barnyard, and stronger aromas and flavors attributed to the fruit. Appreciation's ruby red color entices welcoming another sip, another clink of glasses with friends, another moment of contentment and contemplation! With gratitude, we humbly offer our appreciation.

Bottle, generously shared by bird_machine - thanks! Pours a cloudy red with a medium pink head that leaves nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is tart cherry, funk, fruityness. Flavor is the same, medium plus tartness, some cherry and non-descript fruitiness, not much sweetness, with a dry finish. Definitely a nice beer, but a little short on the complexity of the best of its peer group. Maybe will develop some complexity after more time in the bottle, but I doubt I will ever know :). Medium body, nice soft mouthfeel.
