Inspired by our beloved brewery cat who is always up for a hug or a joke. 'Droef' is a blend of spontaneously fermented organic Frankenthaler and Southern Italian Aglianico grapes with our own Watergeus. This style, which is called Italian Grape Ale, combines fresh acidity of the Watergeus with the full mouthfeel of natural wine.

Spritziger, rund säuerlicher Beginn, Trauben, leicht vinöse Noten, die Säure steigt etwas an. Spritzig, mild bitter, Zitrus, passend trocken zum Ende. Gut! 10/11/12/12/8/12

375mL bottle, pours a cloudy peachy pink with a small white head. Aroma has musty grape skins, a touch of phenols, and a hint of bugginess. Flavour is dry, with musty grape skins, wild yeast, and a touching of leather. Bone dry, with a musty, vinous, and wild finish. Very good.

Bottle. Bit hazy deep golden. Lots of funk, hay, light grapes, raspberries, bitter oak, herbal. Medium sweet and bitter, lighter sour. More like lambic than grape ale. Lovely.
