Liked it better than the Planète Rouge, but I still found the taste too sour and strong. The stong wine taste gives an interesting character to the beer.
An effervescent, mildly hoppy amber opens into wood, fruit, and funky wild yeast. Vinous rather than sour. It was near the end of a tasting, so I might be suspect, but it seemed like a younger, red cousin of the likes of Pour les Oiseaux.
