Bottla at Cascade brewing. Pours a hazy golden with a diminishing white head. Smells of straw and clover. Medium sourness. Aromas of citrus fruits and straw. Hints of spices. Medium to heavy body. Medium to soft carbonation. Good.

750ml bottle. Tart, mildly hoppy aroma, some straw, honey, caramel, faint berry, wood, flowers, even some faint exotic spices. Thoroughly hazy amber-orange color, head is white and fine. Flavor profile is moderately sour, with lots of fruit, grape/berry notes, wood, some citrus and definite winey touches. Smooth very genty acidic palate, body is medium-full. Really tasty. Thanks to Tim!

750 ml corked and caged bottle purchased at Uber Tavern in Seattle, Washington. Pour is hazed orange golden with a smallish white head. Nice lacing. Aroma of sweet muscat white grapes, honey, decent blast of sourness to the end. Taste is the white grape (big) initially, then a nice sour acetic followed by the floral honey with very soft and mild sweetness. Palate is medium to full, decently active carbonation, clean finish. Not much alcohol present. Really nice one.

Dark copper with big head. Aroma is some sweet grapes and oak. Oddly, I get a bit of what reminds me of pumpkin pie spice...not the pumpkin itself, but pure spices. Lots of oak and sour grapes mixing with apricot and more spices/herbs . Doesn’t make your mouth pucker, but moderately sour throughout. Finishes dry. Solid and interesting, but that spice aroma/taste confuses me a bit.

Shared by theisti. Pours very murky yellow orange with a fizzy white head. The nose is grapey, minty, with some good oak. The flavor has kind of a minty character. Is it from the grapes? Medium to light body. Not all that sour.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Clear in look, golden in color, and not too much head. The smell is spice, some funk, wood, and grape. The taste is fruits, tart, wood, grapes, almost spiced.
