Imperial White Grape Saison. One of a series of experimental sharing beers designed to be treated like sparkling wines, this is a very special imperial saison fermented with white grape juice. Minimal hop additions let the grapes’ natural malic acid cut through, adding bite to an elegantly dry, light and fruity character. Saison yeast adds hints of farmhouse phenolics to citrus fruits and pear on the nose.

Bottle. Hazy golden color with white head. Aroma is white grape juice, light funk, a touch barrely. Taste is the same, on the sweet side. Silky mouthfeel with high, but soft carbonation. Tasty.
