Allagash Victoria 2010

Found this during my last wine inventory. Unceremoniously decided to pop the cork during a shoe polishing session in the garage. Poured into a disposable clear party cup sitting atop the trash tote. Clear dark gold with hardly any foam but lotsa' bubbles. Huge enormous whiffs of grape, turbindo sugar, and freshly mown hay. Tastes like white wine, especially since it was brewed with Chardonnay grapes, some astringency, gratefully low hop content, light mouth feel, and low alcohol bite. This is an ale that would've worked well as a wine alternative. Probably should've waited for turkey day but one occasion is as good as the next with me. I'll open the Victor Ale this coming Thursday.
