Commercial Description:
Brewed with European Pilsner malt, German wheat malt and a hefty dose of turbinado sugar in the kettle, this beer clocks in at over 9% abv. Despite that it has a dry finish and is very drinkable. The traditional Belgian yeast packs this beer with tropical fruit flavors, a mysterious earthiness and an inviting spiciness. In addition, we added grains of paradise, coriander and the peels of fresh clementines. After fermentation and conditioning we then aged the beer for 3 months in a red wine barrel from Tiger Mountain Vineyards before bottling. The barrel aging added a prominent red wine character, a beautiful color, a nice oak backbone and a mysterious mustiness.

Sampled at Noogfest 08, I believe brought by KP. Pours amber orange with a beige head. Strong perfumy, flower petal- like aroma. The oak and malt profile give this a very chardonnay/ white zin like flavor, but with some slight herbal and Belgian phenols hiding in the background. Unique.

Cask. deep hazy orange. thin head. Spicy, herbal aroma. Hints of fruit. Flavor is a dry sweetness, spice, pepper, and some light vinous flavor.

On tap at 5 Seaons North. Tried with Atlanta ratebeer crew. Red-orange color. Flat. Lots of oak and red wine in the aroma. Pretty nice. Kind of a bretty like phenolics, which I think might be an illusion from the oak aging. Pretty good.

Noogfest ’08. The body was hazy dark amber with a white head. The aroma was grapefruit with some floral hints. There was also some cheap hard candy and brandy. The taste was bread and cherries. Interesting and sweet.

At Noogfest Four-O. Pours orange with beige head. The aroma is lots of spices, yeast, pear, and muffins. Flavor is very bready, with some mild woody and fruity tones. Sweetish aftertaste. Pretty good.
