I am not a huge sour fan. In fact, I would prefer to split a bottle and let this be a sipper. However, you can tell this is a quality offering. Very complex. A sour fan would lose their mind with this

Absolutely love this sour ale. Currants, effervescence, and sour notes plus potent

Oh so sour! Deliciously sour. You can actually smell the wood on the nose, along with a sour raisiny , grapey note. You can really taste the cabernet barrels. Wonderful layers of flavor beyond the nose. Champagne like effervescence, sour raisin, and a hint of sour cherry, before going way to more oak on the finish. Less sour as it warms up, so if you're not a fan of sours let it warm up, and enjoy how everything still comes together and smooths out a bit. I am now a big fan of this one.

Great, can really taste the wine barrel. One of the best of the beers
Brewed in wine bottles. One of Will's favorites.

A very complex ale - Very sour, but less so as it warms. Many flavors malty and woody at first giving way quickly to sourness - underripe fruit (apple, tomato, bittersweet); Cabernet flavor is distinct. There are definite oak and butterscotch undertones. It isn't incredibly good, but it receives high marks for an interesting concept.

Perfect, you taste a new part of the blossom every time you sip it

Sour. Too sour. Needs more balance.
