This ale pours a murky amber color with a beige colored head. The aroma has a bit of a sour note with a touch of caramel and spice. The spice seems to have a ginger like quality. The sour note is coming from the oak barrel aging process. I bought this one because of the oak aging. I have learned over the last year that I really like this type of ale.
The sour green apple and oak taste is right up front and center. The caramel and spice mix well with the other flavors for a tasty ale. I am looking forward to sitting back and drinking this bottle tonight.
