On tap @Ma che siete venuti a fa' (Rome). Borgogna carico, leggende torbida, schiuma bianca leggera, abbastanza persistente. Al naso note vinose, di frutta rossa, citrico, balsamico, mentuccia, leggero acetico. In bocca è acida media, tart, citrica, vinosa, leggero acetico. Corpo medio, carbonazione media. Andrebbe rifinita un po' per darle più gentilezza ed eleganza, ma è un bel bere.

A bit thin but a very peasant grape presence. Vinous, soft, elegant. I love these small bottles: the shape and the size.

Thin, a bit watery, fruity, ok

Hazy purple red beer with a beige head. Aroma of dry sour red grapes, berries. Taste of dry red grapes, apples, funk, easy to drink.

Acidic, berries, fruity, clay, minerals

Blue grape beer by this young microbrewery in the Montpellier region in southern France, with snow white, medium sized, moussy and opening to dissolving head atop a misty vermillion red robe with deep wine red glow. Aroma of blue grape skin rather than actual grape flesh, dry red wine (quite dominant even), rosehip tea, wine leaves, yoghurt, rosé, minerals. Crisp, fizzy onset, rather sharply carbonated for this kind of beer perhaps, red-fruity with again grape skin rather than sweet fleshy grape, impressions of red apple peel and redcurrant as well; supple, somewhat vinous mouthfeel, slender cereally malt core under strong grape skin tannins and eventually still some red wine juiciness, paired with a notable herbal aroma (rosehip tea, bergamot even). Low in hop bitterness, but the tannins from the grape skins provide enough dryness; I just wish there had been some more juicy and fleshy grape prominence here, but generally this is a very tasty grape ale – and as I argued before here, I still find it bizarre that the French do not experiment a lot more with their wine heritage when it comes to craft brewing (see Italy)… Imagine what the possibilities could be!
