From Bend, OR, USA arrives The Ale Aphotecary and their 4-year old Red Wine BA American Wild Ale. I wish this is slow enough for me to enjoy it the entire evening.

It has good feel of age (or maturity) to it. HEAD: Two finger tall and tight. Creamy. GREY’S VIEW Oregon Honey bottle conditioned American Wild Ale Aged in freshly emptied Red Wine Barrels. Indeed. The color of this beer is so beautiful. Clean, transparent, deeply red and still agile and kinda wild. I really like it. First sip is pure Oregonian flow. It offers malt bready haziness, soft and mushed cherries, berry bush feel is strong as also the ancient forest goings too. It develops towards juicy red currant, oaky red wine way. It’s enough complex with the tasteprofile, but first and foremost it’s really clean and balanced with all the flavours. Mouthfeel is medium+ with creamy, seashore wavy sort of carbonation. It’s pretty perfect for me. Red wine barrels has soaked entirely to its being giving; oak, lively and juicy-tangy tannins, mushed red grape peels and hints from that old forest bed. Tastes lingers a good while in the mouth. OTHER NOTES: Slow and plenty in taste. Red grapes and tannins are working well with oak, red curranty juiciness and that well matured being. Stylish piece.
