This is a “flat” beer. They pump it out of the cask and it’s low carbonation. Nice but I like a little fizz. — 12 days ago

9.0

Grippy, tea-like orange, kinda like a flat Arnold Palmer or something. “Forty year old vines planted over sandy, alluvial soils in Ammerschwihr. The fruit was fermented as whole bunches for a fortnight before being pressed off to vats for a short élevage.” — 6 days ago

Charred red fruit and spice on the nose. Dark cherry,
cinnamon, clove, cooked strawberry, cooked cranberry, and pomegranate on the palate. Medium alcohol, low tannin, and high acid. Aging nicely. — a month ago
