What Our Panel Thought

Aroma: “Wine-like. Some delicate sweetness with grape notes and some light funk (sweaty pineapple and horse blanket) with a tartness that hits at the end. Moderate sour juicy aroma with light cherry, white grape, and light peach and pear.”

Flavor: “Grapes pop in the flavor with a character somewhere between grape juice and wine. More earthy Brett comes through with a freshly fallen-rain aroma. Low to moderate sweetness into moderately high acidity that fades nicely into a dry finish. Finishes with more sweetness than sourness.”

Overall: “This beer has it all. It starts with an up-front sourness and big grape flavor that transitions into a light sweetness right before the finish. Lots of Brett funk with a very interesting fruit character from the grapes that blends nicely. Very refreshing. Like grape juice meets lemonade.”

What the Brewers Say

“Golden ale aged on grape pomace.”
