This wine beer was made by blending oak-aged saison with Riesling from Hinterland Wine Company. The result is a product that blurs the lines between wine and beer.

Classic Riesling aromas of apple, pear, and pineapple. Light American oak, a prickly carbonation, some salinity and a juicy acidity allow for a quenching finish.

750ml (thx, Matt!) @ SF.
Manure, grapes, sweetness. Taste is along the same lines, moderately tart, some minerals. Good one.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma has some husky grains, a touch of white wine, and saison yeast. Flavour has husky grains, saison yeast, and a touch of vinous character. Husky, grainy, rustic finish. Good stuff, if a bit rough.

Pale and slight haze. Thin head. Somewhat buggy aroma, nice grape accent, a bit of estery yeast, a bit wheaty. Nice passionfruit accent, light fruity, touch of grapefruit. Great complexity.

750mL bottle. Pours murky blonde with a white head. Nice musty white wine grapes on the nose. Flavour has a ton of musty white wine grape skins, funk. Nice carbonation. This is does an excellent job incorporating wine grapes inot the beer.

Draft: Poured a gold color ale with a medium size white foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of tart and sour notes with some funky ester and vinous notes with light oak. Taste is also a mix of tart dominant notes with some very funky ester with some vinous notes and light oak notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable and good mix of wine barrel notes.
