Going beyond Revers Engineering by adding Mavro Kalavritino grape skins provided by a famous organic winery, Tetramythos. Spontaneously fermented with the wild microorganisms existing on the skins, a beautiful pink hue with a musty aroma full of berries, carbonated lower than beer to almost resemble a still wine, aged on lees (batonnage) for a fuller body!

Tilting the scale towards wine this time!

Munich Ratebeer Group Tasting at Jonas, Garching Friday 22nd October 2021. Pours gold with a very light blush of pink and no head. Fruity with a little more depth, a little bit boozier summer once again the wine qualities are very perky here, super nice, zappy with a little cider edge, lovely.

Bottle via Fin. Light rose, little/no carb, looks like a wine in the glass. Wild sour nose, with hints of powdered-sugar sweetness and grapes. If I didn't know it was a beer I might think, strange rose. Even a bit of buttery malolactic-like taste. Although I like it more than most rose wines I've tried: better mouthfeel and more complex flavor.

Slight pink amber. Aroma is berries with some caramel and some hops. Taste is bitter wine with some sweet and booze. Not a huge wine fan. But it kind of tastes like wine. Ok.

Bottle. Rather clear rose-ish orange color with no head. Aroma is exotic fruits, grapes, super aromatic, mild booze. Taste is the same, warming finish, low carbonation. Absolutely adoring this series!
