Commercial Description:
This is a beer that will make you rethink your definition of beer. It doesn’t taste like any beer you’ve ever had, yet it doesn’t taste like anything else either. Pushing the limits of brewing is what makes this job so much fun. Malted barley, wild yeast, hand picked Muscat Grapes, and French oak wine barrels are just a few of the things that went into crafting this beer. Breathe deep, take a long sip, and enjoy the creation in your hand.

Thanks to Cletus. A beer I’ve wanted to try for awhile. Tart aroma right away. My wife took a sniff and said "Not for me." But it’s for me. Apples. Grapes. Little honey. Hazy orange body. Some faint oak. Very nice and tart.

Batch 3 Thanks to Maltajo for the bottle. Light gold pour with a thick fluffy white head. Tart grapes, barrel note in the aroma. Smooth malt body, light crisp, grape tartness in the taste. Nice dry finish. Excellent brew.

Bottle (Batch 3) - thanks beerbaron420. Light hazy golden pour and a thin white head. Nose is soft with sweet and sours, grape, yeast,and a hint of honey. Taste comes through with some oak and more of a dry and tart feel. Sour, in fact. Light grape. Finishes very well.

Sample #32 at 1st CST, batch #2. Pours a clear slightly hazed light color, similar to a Belgian wit, small bubbly froth. Herbally aroma, sweet funky, light grape, lavender, perfumy. Flavor is sour lactic, harsh acidic cleaner, acidic, lightly nutty, quite dry. Clean feeling mouth-feel, very very light, great fluffy carbonation. An overall disappointment.

Botte Batch 3: Pours a cloudy orange/yellow color, very bright and vibrant looking, light head and lacing. Nose of funky yeast, tart and subtle balance with fruit and doughy esters. The flavor is so tart, but so balanced a huge sappy sour note and a complex sweet malty note. Sour but full bodied and balanced. Not puckering, just sour. Don’t get a lot of grape going on though. Delightful! Thanks Jake!!!!!!
