Firestone Walker Gold Rider
Vital Statistics
From the brewer
The story of Gold Rider beer began when we brewed a base beer with an infusion of Central Coast white wine juice. After fermentation, we aged the beer in 500-liter French Cognac barrels for two years, with a separate portion matured in orange bitters barrels. Finally, we incorporated a touch of fresh-squeezed lemon juice to elevate the experience. The result is a distinctive barrel-aged beer with ingredients and flavors that faithfully mirror the experience of enjoying a classic Sidecar.

Smells like a cocktail with bitters; sweet, dry, couldn't tell if this is what it would taste like fresh, much like some of the other FW "cocktail" beers we've had aged. I don't know my liqueurs enough to dissect the flavor here.
