0.75 l bottle from 'AleHub', cellared for nine months. A little hazy, pale greenish golden with a few white bubbles on top of it. Sweetish, minimally sourish, quite vinous-fruity, a little funky aroma of white wine, gooseberry, some hay and hints of mirabelle. Slightly sweet, moderately sourish, rather vinous-fruity, a bit funky taste of white wine, gooseberry, mirabelle, some hay and light wood, followed by a medium long, slightly tart, gently woody-dry finish. Medium body, a bit astringent and gently effervescent mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Fantastic grape ale, great balance, has the right amount of tartness and residual sugars. Fairly complex and refreshing at the same time. Definitely one of the best grape ales from Freigeist, doesn't have that overpowering acidity like most other examples.
