Toooons of oak funk with citrusy sweet and tanginess. The Referend always kills it.
FLN, gnarly unique flavors outta this! Tons of honey and oaky sweet berry funk.
Lots of cherry and cranberry tartness, tangy funk, oaky sweetness, fun deliciousness overall.

Bottle shared in NH. Pours clear yellow-gold with a fading, foaming white topping. Lightly sweet with subtle juicy lemon, sturdy pale wood dryness, mellow salinity, balanced acidity. Light bodied with delicate carbonation. Clean, citric finish, a little throat burn, more dry pale wood. Great stuff.
Lots of gin notes! Lavender juniper floral delicious funk. Cork almost killed me but it was worth it!

Bottle from the Referend back in their NJ days, 3/23/23. Bottled May 5, 2020. Reddish-purple color. Strong red wine grape on the aroma with some earth, funk, red berries, and mild vinegar. It's got less wood to it than I expected from the aroma, and it's less tart as well. Actually drinks a touch sweet. Nice wine-forward flavor profile here. Tasty stuff.
