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!

18/VI/22 - sample @ De La Sambre Saison Festival, BB: n/a (2022-714) Thanks for sharing!

Clear ruby red beer, small creamy light pink head, unstable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: cow stable, bar yard, very rural impression here, a little floral, soapy touch. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: apple cider, a bit sourish, dry, some tannins, a gentle bitterness with a fruity touch, more sour apples. Aftertaste: dry finish, a bit spicy, some tannins, slightly sweet, fruity, pretty decent.
