Bottle at the December Ratebeer DC Tasting. Poured a clear golden yellow color with a small white heawd. Aromaw was herbal flowers, light lemon peel with some orange notes. Lots of raspberries. Tart, acidic. Pleasant stuff.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Aroma is fruit forward with lots of pluot notes. Light oak notes and a bit of herbal funk. A bit of a buttery note in the aroma. Pours a reddish purple color with medium sized, medium thick, pinkish head that recedes to a small film that lingers. No lacing or legs. Flavor has a light acidity with faint sweetness and light grain note. Low bitterness and faint alcohol note. Fairly strong pluot notes with nice lighter notes of oak. A touch of spelt. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent beer but the buttery note that is in the aroma and continues a bit into the flavor is less than ideal. The fruit is really nice and definitely in the forefront carried by light malt and spelt notes with a touch of oak.

Bottle. Beautiful crimson-purple kind of blend with a tall, quickly vanishing head. Nose is grapes, brett, light lactic acididty. Funk-ass, bretty, horse blanket flavor is ridiculously dry. Grapes and light yogurt come through too but mostly a dusty dryness that is a bit surprising. Nice stuff. Would like it to be just a bit less dry.

Rating #11000 for me. Fittingly, grabbed this at a DC Ratebeer Tasting. Thanks gang! 750ml bottle pours a clear gold with a ring of white head. Nose has herbs, flowers, lemon and orange. Flavor is waaaaaay sweeter than the nose lets on, lemon-lime soda, grapefruit shandy, herbs. Finishes tart.

Cloudy, pale. Thin head. A lot of tartness, decent woody notes. The citrus comes through in a subtle way. At this point it seems a bit overcarbonated but it’s not bad.

From a bottle at the Dec 7 RB gathering. Pours a clear orange with an off white head. Aromas of vinyl and tart apple. Flavors are sour white grapes.

Dink pour that left on the bottle for 4 hours during Black Christmas #7. Appearance: murky purple. Aroma: very nice wine and grapes notes. Taste: along the same lines, quite sour and dry. Overall: pretty good one.

Dink pour that left on the bottle for 4 hours during Black Christmas #7. Appearance: murky purple. Aroma: very funky with tons of horse blanket notes. Taste: along the same lines. Overall: too much of horse shit in it, but it's ok.
