An orange pour with faint head. A vinous sour aroma with the usual funk characters. A little bourbon in there, which as usual seems to dominate the more interesting flavors & aromas that the other barrels should be imparting. Tartness has a vaguely unpleasant edge to it, much like Brabant.

Dec 19, 2009 courtesy of rye726.
pours amber/orange, white head, lasting frothing lacing.
aroma of mostly wine barrels, good sourness, light wood, hints of fruit (grape), vinegar.
flavor, sour is just the way I can appreciate the style. Definitely the good presence of wine; mix of Cabernet, Chardonnay. Medium carbonation, finish kicks up with light note of the Port barrel.
Wine presence is enjoyable, not overly acidic, warming abv, nice to sip on.

Dec 19, 2009 Look is just average, an apple juice color with a thin layer of head and active carbonation. Scent is very nice, get some wood, some lemon, and some funk. Taste is lemon and leather with some wood. Not as sour as I had expected and a dry finish. Very good, but I’m definitely partial to a more robust sour characteristic. Mouth is again dry and thin with appropriately high carbonation.

Dec 18, 2009 Big Thanks to SeaBass for sharing this one as a start up for the two of us before my epic tasting.
A: Nice slightly golden hue with a nice tall white head. The head dies to a solid ring and lingers for the duration. Tons of lace as well.
S: Nice wild notes with notes of sweet tarts. Notes of fine white wine and oak.
T: Very tasty beer, much much better than Brabant. Very wine like with strong notes of oak. There is a underlying fruit component with a light tartness.
M: On the lighter side of medium. Great carbonation, crisp, dry finish.
D: Great, a very fine example of the style.

Dec 12, 2009 12oz bottle from alagnak. Slightly hazy dark golden with a brown ruby tint with little head. Tart cherry, peach, cranberries, wet wine cork, with a almost sweet lacto base. The body and flavor is lighter and maybe more approachable than I think I was expecting and the carbonation is a bit more lively than I was thinking I would get. Tart cranberry, peach and orange up front with lacto then some wood and cork characteristics. The dry slightly peppery brett is present but may be getting a little stronger then when this was released. I think this was probably even better fresh with more barrel notes and fruity lacto tartness. Thanks Chris.

Dec 10, 2009 Thanks a ton to the one who shared this from the STL group. Pours amber with an off-white head. The aroma is funky and sour with sour grapes, sweet / tart, sharp berries and light oak. Medium crisp boy with a sharp clean finish. The taste start with a sharpness, brown toasted malt, graininess, slight nuttiness, some funk and spice. The finish is phenolic and dry wine traits. Very nice beer.
