Amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of blood oranges, fruity/funky/acidic yeast, bready malt, and wine barrel flavors; with a great malt/tart/sourness and tangy fruit/wine balance. Lightly increasing pucker through the glass, but not overwhelming. Light-moderate increasing dryness from tart/sourness, fruit tang, and wine tannins. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a smooth, creamy/bready, and acidic/tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Mildly increasing warmth of 9.3% after the finish. Overall this is an amazing fruited sour/wild ale! All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of blood oranges, fruity/funky/acidic yeast, bready malt, and wine barrel flavors; smooth and dangerously easy to sip on for the ABV, with the modestly acidic/tangy/tannic/drying finish, not overly lactic from malt presence. Amazing balance of juicy/jammy fruit, Brett/Bacteria complexity, and bready malts; with perfect wine barrel integration. Not overly sweet/heavy from lingering dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and spot on style example as expected. Consistently amazing sours across the board so far.
