Bottle shared for Colin’s bday party - thanks to Paul and B’ville. Pours hazy burnished gold with a frothy white head. The nose has some earthy, fairly true blueberry character. Light sweet flavor with subtly tangy bluebeeries, bread, nips of oxidation. Light bodied with fine, spritzy carbonation. Pretty clean on the finish, lightly tannic, some juicy blueberries. Pretty damn decent, really.
