Another Martin House Brewing beer for Ryan and I to Duo. An Imperial sour? It's 12% and it's grape that sat 7 months in a wine barrel. What could go wrong? Went into the glass without much fanfare, almost no head and that disappeared. Very murky color that almost look like a tequila sunrise. Held to the light it's orange on the top and bottom and maroon in the middle. Beautiful. Aroma was pure white wine, Chardonnay character. First sip gives you a red barley wine, pretty good. It's also very acidic on the tongue. You slowly get some white wine and hidden late is a tiny grape flavor. The finish leaves the mouth feeling coarse. They tout this as a grape ale, I don't get that. It's way in the background. The acidity on the second and third sips is becoming much too strong. It seems so unbalanced with the barley wine flavor. We knew it's a sour but neither one of us really want to finish this now. That's a shame.
