500mL bottled May 2016, drunk 9/16/16.
Lightly to moderately hazy, cherry-red with a light amber-golden tint and a medium-sized, pink-flecked head atop showing moderate retention.
Good tartness to the nose, certainly, with plentiful wheat and lactic character and not overdone on the cherry acidity. Does seem like there’s brett in here as well and it’s enjoyable, adding light band-aid and lime. Soft wheat lingers in the background and the beer seems quite dry from the nose with a good black pepper phenol character lingering.
Nutty, lightly chewy, and very heavily influenced by the wheat, is the soft texture. Tight carbonation with tangy brett, lacto and malic acid all keeping the beer quite tart, dry, bright and somewhat puckering. No alcohol or flaw with a good depth of flavor and texture/body for such a low abv.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Aroma has a medium light acidity with a bit of citrus notes and some light pineapple. Medium light stone fruit notes with more apricot than peach. Light oak with hints of rum and wine. More white wine than rum. Pours a hazy, pale golden brown straw color with a medium large, frothy white head that recedes steadily to a thin film that is replenished and lingers nicely. Flavor is moderately acidic with light sweetness and malt notes. Medium light citrus notes with some faint pineapple. Lots of stone fruit notes with more apricot than peach. Some light rum and whit wine notes with a bit of oak. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a very nice stone fruit sour. The mix of rum and wine barrels adds nice complexity. Acidity is present but isn’t too sharp. Balanced fruit notes. Nice yeast and bacteria character.

Poured from a 500 ml bottle. Aroma is very grape juice forward with an aroma similar to Welches white grape juice or grape popsicles. Light white wine and oak notes with even lighter tannins. Faint malt notes with hints of acidity. Pours a somewhat hazy, golden orange with a medium sized, thick, white head that recedes slowly but steadily to the edges where it lingers for a bit. No lacing or legs. Flavor has a moderate acidity with a light sweetness to it and hints of grain. Light white wine and oak notes with hints of tannins. Moderate grape notes with a definite white grape juice character to it, though it also displays some grape candy flavors. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice grape sour with a unique flavor and aroma that a lot of the other grape sours don’t have. Whereas most grape sours come across as a cross between wine and beer, this tastes like a beer with grape flavors; something I am not used to. I am not sure how they got the grape flavors, but its not very wine-like.
