I did not like the underlying tones of this beer, but it did have great hop taste. Bigger fan of the BiFrost.

On tap at Elysian Fields for SBW. Aged in cabernet barrels, I believe. Pours a hazy golden with cream head. Fantastic aroma with citrus and grapes that makes me think I’m about to dive into a nice cab. However, it’s downhill from there. Wine is the dominating flavor that tastes very bitter, leaving my mouth incredibly dry with a finish that lingers much longer than I could have wanted.

I’m a fan of sours but this one did nothing for me. It’s a peachy brown pour with lots of lacing. Aromas of sugars, orange, a bit of grapefruit and faint smell of yeast. You can really taste the alcohol on this one, overpowering its citrus hops. Bitter finish. .

On tap at Fields for Seattle Beer Week, this is a version of the bifröst soured with Brett yeast. It pours a cloudy pale orange color with a muted sour tart aroma. The flavor is slightly woody and bitter, almost a red wine like quality to the nose and palate.
