White wine barrel aged saison on grapes
Saison 2024, into a Californian Riesling barrel, which previously held the dry-hopped grodziskie, and then packed it full of greenhouse grapes.
Fruity, woody, tannic and very unique!

Bottle from the Fellowship stash. Suspicious of this - it's a gusher but said gush was led by a load of yeast. Pours OK looking though. Hazy-opaque amber-gold. Suprisingly thin white head. Aroma is vinous and citrusy. Flavourwise it's similarly vinous and citrusy but also initially sweet. Herbs too. Light. Thin. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Decent if lacking depth.
