The Liar's Club

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright transparency. The head forms quickly and maintains a delicate, wispy collar with fine lacing that slowly recedes. Carbonation is gentle and persistent, creating a soft, refined visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright orchard fruit—white apple and stone fruit—layered beneath woody, oaky undertones from extended barrel contact. Subtle funky, earthy notes from wild fermentation weave through, alongside delicate white wine aromatics and a whisper of dry cider character. Restrained and harmonious, with no single element overwhelming.

◐ Taste

The palate enters dry and crisp, with tart apple skin and subtle stone fruit flavors building immediately. Mid-palate reveals layered oak tannins and a complex organic acid structure that creates gentle astringency without harshness. The funky, earthy character from Brettanomyces adds intrigue, balanced by a restrained, almost delicate bitterness that cleanses rather than dominates.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately long, with lingering acidity and a gentle drying sensation from tannins and apple skins. The aftertaste leans toward orchard fruit and subtle oak, with the funk fading to a whisper.
