Brewed with a blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay grapes, three classic varietals used most frequently by France's traditional Champagne houses, this American Wild Ale presents a slightly hazy yellow color with lively carbonation. Bright, vinous aromas delight, offering notes of mineral-driven white wine, muscat grape must, a soft, yet structured oak profile, and a drizzle of clover honey. On the palate, a subtle citrus character compliments our New England native yeast profile in a wonderful way. Tight and balanced, with a well-hidden alcohol presence and gentle tannin profile, Oenobier: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay's scrubbing carbonation keeps this beer elegant and refreshing throughout.

Bottle picked up from Beyond Beer or Craftbier, probably the former and consumed at home Sunday 15th October in the company of Craig and Stella. We've just been out for a short drive to our local Gasthof zum Sonnenwald and an old brewery (no longer brews) in Renting, listening to Hercules and Love Affair - In Amber. Pours hazy yellow with a white head that rapidly departed. Wonderful, it's zappy, fresh and clean, with plenty of grapiness going on. There is a lingering zappiness to this. Fabulous stuff.

Draft at Trillium Brewing - Fenway. Poured a hazy, kind of murky orange color with not much of a head to speak of at all. Aroma was big tart notes, grape, grape skins. Vineous, with some light yeast. Alcohol is really well hidden in this, the wife didn't even notice the alcohol.

Tap fenway 9/29/21. Champagne to maize, translucent. No head. Grape and grain with light honey and a pretty moderate yeast/bacterial character. Low acetic and moderate lactic acidity with mineral and grapeskin. Good balance, not boozy. Cherry-like brett character late with biscuit, acetic and caramel. Tons of cherry with even some light citrus, mild grape and light tartness atop a strongly textured, malty yet well attenuated body. Not champagne-like on account of all the malt character, but interesting nonetheless. Grapes are attenuated and complex.

Pours hazy gold into tulip. Bright white head with little retention recedes to hug rim. Tart grape aromas. Medium to sharp with dry grape skin, sweet juice and funk front to back.
