From the vines come the grapes, from the bines the hops. Vines & Bines is a true Canadian product. It is a clear, highly effervescent Kolsch-style ale made with Alberta barley from Origin Malting and fermented with Sauvignon Blanc grape juice and skins from the Niagara-on-the-Lake wine region in Ontario.
It finishes dry and crisp with luscious stonefruit notes and hints of lychee and lime. It is dry-hopped with the New Zealand hop varietal Nelson Sauvin, known for its aromatic qualities akin to Sauvignon Blanc wine. It comes in a can, but you may want to enjoy it from a champagne flute – go ahead, we won’t judge…

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy straw colour with a medium, fizzy, short lived, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Mild, sweet aroma of grainy malt, green grape, pear and light lime. Sweet flavour of bready malt, lime, green grape, pear and lychee in a crisp, dry finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. I'm a fan of Cabin, so I was pretty hyped to try this. It's refreshing and easy to drink, but I was a little disappointed. S'ok (I guess).
