Amazing that this is 9.5% because it's so easy to drink a 750mL bottle. It really is wine quality. I have a hard time identifying the nose on beers but it reminds me of being inside the cow feed silo as a kid. It smells like late summer harvest left to ferment.
It's a very clean taste of...... Wheat grass? — 2 years ago

So-much-fruit. Glad we drank this young. — 5 years ago
Outstanding. September 2017 bottle. Great sour and funky flavor. Citrus, some berry-like flavor. More funk than I remember. So good. I have to say that American sours are catching up to this standard. — 4 years ago
2018 opened December 2023. Cool notes dominate the nose. I want to call the scent that I detect as spearmint, but it doesn’t have the spiciness of a mint— just the coolness. Menthol without the ‘ol? Hint of ripe cherries underneath its chill façade. The cherries and the mint continue  their theme on the front of the palate.  Light to medium tannic structure that expresses itself towards the finish. Kinda weak on the mid-palate, but that’s a momentary lapse. It ends with a medium-long bitter finish that mostly consists of mildly bitter volcanic high notes. I drinking this along side, a beef stew with lots of carrots, brussels sprouts, and some leftover bacon in it. I’m not much on wine pairing, but this compliments, my stew perfectly. — a year ago
Very aromatic nose. Slight citrus. Round and balanced. Great choice at Chez Richard in Brussels. — 2 years ago
Drank after a Boon Geueze (which I enjoyed) and it was far better, more refined and delectable. — 4 years ago

Tropical and citrus acidity in this solid Albariño. Would definitely purchase again as weather warms. Great with salmon and Brussels. — 2 days ago
