This is a sour blonde ale that's fermented with juice pressed from Fess Parker's Riesling grapes. It pours a slightly hazy gold color with a fleeting white head. The bouquet immediately shows the beer's vinous character, with upfront aromas of musky white grape, apple cider, underripe peach and sweet lemon, as well as a soft funky, sour note. These notes carry through to the medium-weight mouth, along with sweet malt, ripe-fruit and oaky flavors. The carbonation is brisk, lifting the palate and leading into a clean, mouthwatering finish. Lauren Buzzeo

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
