Champagne Showers

Aroma: “Effervescent and crisp. Sweet chardonnay-grape character. Some nice bready malt sweetness in the back. Slight oak and pear character.”

Flavor: “Tastes like a chardonnay with some malt backbone. White grape juice sweetness, some wood character with some tannins. Carbonation is high. Malt back is sweet bread. Finishes dry.”

Overall: “A buttery chardonnay...or was it beer? Enjoyable, it’s a nice blend of wine and beer, balanced and relatively clean. It’s enchanting.”

“A golden ale brewed with chardonnay must from the North Fork of Long Island. Champagne Showers starts as a blend of the must and beer malt, fermented together with American ale yeast and then conditioned in the fermenter with Champagne yeast.”
