A Champagne-like beer/wine hybrid fermented with white wine grapes from David Walker’s family vineyard. It exudes essences of both Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc, including racy tropical aromas with notes of honeysuckle and honeydew melon. Deliciously effervescent.

2019 version is 8.9% ABV. Deep gold. A white head struggles to form. 3+ Aroma is toasty with autumnal fruit, tired grapes, zingy spices, oak. Funky and both sweet and moderately sour. A fair bit of body. Mostly the zingy spicy oak Brett but a little of the pineappleish sort too. Nice, although a bit drier would have suited me.

Both Aromas and flavors are pretty much the same with Brett and a hint of sweet with maybe some grapes in there is somewhere, a little caramel in the nose, good carbonation, body and finish. No sign of the alcohol. Straightforward sour beer.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours darkish gold with a white head. Brett aroma. Med body. Flavor is mildly sour with Brett. Light slightly roasty malt. Very clean. Has some winey characteristics. Very nice indeed.
