This Muscat IPA is a collaboration with Finnish urban winery, Noita. We delved into the historical brewing styles that combined grape + grain, looking at how different yeasts can bring forward complex aromas (thiols) not just within grapes but also the hops.

Using the finest organic Austrian Muscat grapes, shipped from the vineyards that supply Noita, we kept the base light, with a combination of Pilsner malt + wheat. Balancing the hops within this IPA against the characteristics of Muscat, we chose Nelson Sauvin, Talus + Motueka hops to enhance, but not overpower, the bright citrus notes of gooseberry. The Kveik + Sauvignon Blanc yeast during fermentation has heightened these thiols, bringing forward the fruitier notes of the hops.

Can. A light haze on this yellow gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Airy and slightly thin pale malts, delivering decent sweetness. We then get an intriguing mix of light piney hops with mild citrus and smooth winey grape, fairly sweet. Touch of tropical fruits. Light finish. Nicely done, treads a fine lime but does so confidently. Of course, I would have liked more of everything, but that's just me!
