Druif Rouge is our largest foray into the world of wine grapes. We paired our Lambic-inspired ale, aged in French Oak barrels, with Pinot Noir grapes from our friends at Trisaetum Winery. The result is Druif Rouge, featuring aromas of watermelon auf dark berries, and notes of juniper, plum, and kiwi. Enjoy the union of grape and grain!

On tap at the Belmont Station. Hazy red with small white head. Funky, intensive fruit, some grapes, vinous, barrel. Medium sourness. Nice one.

375mL bottle, pours a hazy dark red with a small off-white head. Nose brings out lots of red wine grapes, gentle funk, and a touch of wood. Flavour is quite vinous and acidic, with plenty of red grape skins, subtle funk, and a little oak. Nice grape skin character, but it's not convincing as an authentic lambic. As a grape wild ale, it's very solid.

Bottle poured, picked up at Hop and Hound. Pinkish purple appearance, quick fading head. Doubled up on Pfriem beers tonight, and it's so nice that they can do so many different styles so well. Smooth, unique grape flavors with this brew. Stinging juicy grape front, with a slight oak, somewhat dry finish. Earthy elements throughout. Long lasting tart grape palate. Excellent addition to the style, which I never see executed around here. Very good!

Bottle. Hazy red color with white head. Aroma is definite grapes, earthy. Taste is grapey, leather, a bit citric acidic in the back. Mineraly mouthfeel, sparkly carbonation. Not bad!

Bottle thanks to Anthony. Pours a pink copper with small off white head. The aroma is strong oak, grape skin, funk. Slick body, funky, grape, oak, vinous, dry finish, very good.
