Fruitful Pursuits Riesling 2022 is a Spontaneous Fermentation blend refermented on Riesling grapes. We used hundreds of kilograms of the highest quality wine grapes grown by Nathan Goltz in the Similkameen Valley and supplied by Steve & Dan’s Fresh BC Fruit. The blend of 1, 2 & 3 year barrels spent 2 months refermenting with the crushed fruit and skins. This hybrid of beer and wine showcases the complexity of Spontaneous Fermentation, while the grapes bring citrus, apple, light pepper & floral flavours, highlighted by wine-like acidity, round texture, and subtle tannin.

Opaque and pale-ish. Medium head. Some jammy stone fruit type notes on the palate. It's a bit fizzy.

Bottle at Farmhouse Fest 2024. Pours murky yellow with a white head. Not much aroma. Flavour is a bit sour with some grape. It's fine. [I'm pretty sure this was warm when I drank it, so this rating may not best reflect the beer.]

Bottle pour at FHF 2024, pours a cloudy golden with a medium white head. Aroma is complex and integrated, with lots of black pepper, white wine grape skins, oak, and wild yeast. Flavour is complex as hell, with lots of black pepper, white wine grape skins, oak, and wild yeast. Tons of black pepper and white wine grape must. Wonderful.
