A blonde style was perfect for aging in Chardonnay barrels, allowing the wine character to shine through in both the aroma flavor. It truly tastes like Chardonnay.

Dusty and slightly grassy yeast. Nice and pleasant pale malt presence. Perfumy and floral as well. Barrel and malt work well together. Pours a clear, sparkling gold with a frothy bright white head leaving spotty lacing. Flavor has lots of Chardonnay. Herbal ans slightly tart yeast. The yeast esters compliment the malt and barrel quite well. Creamy, soft texture. Delicate carbonation with a light tannic and estery finish. Nice! Thanks Eugene! travita (1970), Frisco, Texas, USA
