Tart blended ale conditioned with Muscat grape juice
A nod to Bob Dylan’s classic ode to the impossible and fleeting pursuit of perfection, Visions is a blended mixed culture ale that was matured in French Oak barrels for nearly a year and then bottle conditioned with Muscat Grape juice. Bright golden in color with pleasant fruity aromas of Asian pear, citrus blossoms, and ripe melon, this beer ends with mild zip of tartness balancing all of the elements.

2018 vintage (the only one, I think). 500mL bottle, pours a hazy dull golden, almost no head. Nose is somewhat oxidized, with musty, dusty white grape skins, light oak, and some wild yeast. Flavour is definitely past its prime, sadly, with plenty of oxidation, faded musty grape skins, soft oak, and plenty of lactic acid to finish. Lots of lactic acid on the finish, with little else. Not the brewery’s fault, but this is sadly a shadow of what I assume it was.

Poured from 500mL bottle (bottled 06/2018; cases produced 120). Hazed gold with almost no white head. Citrusy honey, touch of cardboard, grape must, bit of acid, decent but definitely past its prime.

500mL bottle [bottled 2018]. Slightly rustic & floral yeast and grape juice on the nose; smelling a bit old. Flavour has some wine grapes, a bit of a peppery yeast character, and a very assertive tartness. Coming across very lactic. This tastes like it has aged poorly, a bit unfortunate.
