Very fine & dense yellow-amberish tinted head over faintly veiled foxy-copper beer; textbook lace. Some hops, some mineral aroma; caramel; oxydized, old, even nearly rancid nuts. Caramel, again nutoil, and hoppy-leafy bitterness (oak, nettles, dandelion,...) Precious little IPA flavours. Warming up, musk. Oily, viscous, oozy feel. Much less carbonated than the very stable head suggests. Right. Send somebody over to California, now.

Sampled 375 ml. bottle @ “Vini Birre Ribelli 2015”. Aged for 3 years on second use (already used for another beer) Bourgogne barrels if I remember correctly or was it Bordeaux,… not sure. Pours a clear fox red amber with no head. Nose is huge oxidation, sherry, massively so with some wine & oak. Taste is huge oxidation, sherry, big wine, walnuts, dry oak, spices, oak, more nuts. Fully oxidized body. Body was fully thinned out by oxidation, bit dry. Overly oxidized yes but still some nice flavors here, I wouldn’t want to drink much of it but I did enjoy it to a certain extent.

Sampled 375 ml. bottle @ “Vini Birre Ribelli 2015”. Aged for 3 years on Vin Jaune barrels. Hazy golden, white bubbles. Nose is rotting, mineral, funky white wine must, rustic, wild, mineral. Taste is oily sweet grape must, mineral, hay, grape, light barnyard, bit rustic,… Substantial body. A touch challenging in its wild white grape quality but overall quite interesting & nice.
