Lata, de Legacy. Amber, with a slight haze and a thin head. The pinot is prominent on the nose, with a bit of barrel. On the palate, it's a bit sweet, lots of barrel, lots of pinot. Wouldn't say buggy, but I wish it was, because this would be pretty good with a splash of brett kicking in to dry it out. Good body. One of the things I look for in a barrel beer is balance - this isn't bad but not perfect. Another thing I look for is the barrel delta - the barrel is really raising the base a lot here. If it's not the best beer I've had from Shipyards Brewing, it's close.
