What Our Editors Thought

"Generic grape note on the nose, but the flavor isn't standard. It's low in the funk one expects from grape-driven sour beers, but the sparkling carb drives a quick fruit-forward spritz to satisfy with a champagne-beer experience."

What Our Panel Thought

"Big grape aroma that's a bit more Concord grape,like than wine-like, but has some pleasant raspberry and dark cherry character especially in the flavor. The fruit largely overshadows the beer itself. Fairly low initial sweetness into strong but not overpowering sour that slowly fades into the finish."

What the Brewers Say

"Blended foeder sour aged on muscadine grapes."
