Описание

Blonde in color with notes of concentrated white wine grapes with Brett funky notes. Aside from the white wine grape notes, there are aromas and flavors of mint, jasmine, grapefruit, a forward acidity, as well as a clean tart finish with a mild bitterness.The Blend:12.50% Temptation – Aged 22 months in Chardonnay barrels with Brett, Lacto, and Pedio12.50% Petite Robert – Aged 24 months in Cabernet Sauvignon barrels and three mild strains of Brett12.50% Orphan Beer – Aged 24 months in used Sonambic barrels with Brett and our house bacteria culture62.50% Intinction Sauvignon Blanc – Aged for 12 months in Sauvignon Blanc barrels than another 12 months with the addition of the grape juice and three strains of Brett but no bacteriaVinnie’s Thoughts:This four-beer blend was made up by Natalie at one of our tasting / blending sessions. As you can see from above, the foundation of the blend is our Intinction Sauvignon Blanc with three other blonde beers blended in to help dry out the beer as well as lighten up the notes from the grape juice. One of the things I find interesting from this beer is that it is still holding a nice bitterness in the finish, something we usually don’t see in our barrel beers. This is a super clean tasting beer that would be great on a warm summer day or a great beer to open between drinking hoppy IPA’s.
