Taking inspiration from the classic mimosa, Cuvée Soleil is an oak-aged sour beer that was co-fermented with crushed and destemmed Pinot Gris grapes grown right next door at King Estate to add an unmistakeable white wine character. After aging, the final blend was finished on bright and sweet tangerine purée that provides the perfect balance to the acidity of the base beer.
Tart and juicy with just a hint of sweetness, this refreshing beer will transport you from wherever you are to a leisurely patio brunch with your closest friends. Santé!
Barrels: French oak barrels and foeders

16.9 oz. bottle, pours a clear golden with a medium, quickly-dissipating white head. Nose brings out bright tangerine notes upfront, with white grape skins in back, plenty of bugs, and some oak. Flavour beautifully melds the tangerine and Pinot Gris grape skins together, with a wonderful wild yeast base, and some smoothed out tannins from the oak. That really is a skilled blend of the tangerine and grapes. Complex, integrated and highly drinkable. Excellent.
