Flint

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with exceptional clarity, showing the translucence characteristic of well-aged wild ales. Fine carbonation produces a delicate, persistent head with refined lacing that clings softly to the glass. The visual presentation speaks to nine months to five years of patient oak maturation and extended bottle conditioning.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with prominent peach and apricot, followed by subtle red wine barrel character and a touch of lemon-tinged funk that adds intrigue without dominating. A whisper of black pepper provides textural complexity to the fruit-forward bouquet. The overall aromatic profile is balanced and inviting, speaking to the careful blending of young and mature wild ales.

◐ Taste

White wine grape and stone fruit notes melt into gentle oak and soft vanilla on the palate, creating a sophisticated mid-section. The sourness is restrained and refined rather than sharp, allowing the fruit and wood integration to shine. The overall impression is smooth and well-rounded, with acidity softened through careful bottle rest.

◑ Finish

The finish extends gently with lingering stone fruit and a faint earthiness that emerges as the palate settles. A slight dryness lingers pleasantly without becoming austere, complemented by a whisper of tart fruit that echoes the mid-palate.
