Sour tartness that slowly unfolds itself, bit of minerals, black cherries, light vinegar with loads of wine cork flavor.

650mL bottle, pours a clear golden (totally filtered) with a medium white head. Aroma brings out yeast, light pears, and a touch of candied sugar. Flavour brings out loads of Belgian yeast, booze, and a touch of candied sugar. Quite boozy for an 8%, with a very low complexity. Not very refined or elegant in any way. Nothing offensive, but not very skilled. A miss from Driftwood.
