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.

jcartamdg (256) - Spring Hill, Florida, USA - MAY 17, 2012
Pours a hazy gold with no head, looks very simalar to wine. Aroma of funk and sour grapes, tastes a lot like wine with great sour notes. Smooth yet dry, very tasty, sour but not over the top, its just right I wish this wasn’t limited because I would drink it all the time!!!

DalzAle (1460) - Eden Prairie, Minnesota, USA - APR 14, 2012
Bottle. Clear light yellow pour, no carbonation and an aroma of tart white grapes and a little lemon. Flavor is light tart white wine, dry woody sour and very clean on the finish. Next to some other heavy hitters at this tasting, this really stood out. I may need to track down some more bottles of this.

PhillyCraft (606) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 8, 2012
Bottle with Pat down the shore. 12.7 oz. This brew comes sealed in a modest, yet elgant label. Once popped, the brew pours a steady hazy, cloudy bright wheat blonde with a tiny white head that evaporates to leave a smooth, reflective surface. Aroma of freshly squeezed, bitter Concord grape juice, lemon zest, oak, and wildly fermented champagne yeast. Notes of vanilla, honey, and odd Sharpie marker. High, sharp, tight body with a cuttingly sour, grapey, vanilla mouthfeel. Finishes with a sour, grapey Hi-Chew flavor. This is an amazing sour.

ThirstyBird (90) - Dusseldorf, GERMANY - MAR 21, 2012
Pours golden color. Smells of tart fruit, grapes. Huge big sour grapes here! Very tart up front, reminds me of an effervescent Riesling wine. Pretty light body very active carbonation. I have been lucky to have had this a few times and it’s always enjoyable.
