Crack a can of this mixed-culture beauty, and the peachy hue and vinous nuances will have you searching for some dappled sunlight to enjoy it in. The Carolina crew fermented the brew with local muscadine grapes, infusing the sip with Appalachian terroir. Then they can conditioned it for a champagne-like effervescence.
Tasting Notes
Tart stone fruit aromas waft out of every spritzy pour, leading to a complex mélange of sour apricot, grape skin, and gooseberry flavors. Rose-like florals and oaky whispers blend with a dash of herbaceousness on the end that begs another tangy taste.

Keg at CW Bermondsey. A mild haze on this orange beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy dry palate, decent fine minerally carbonation. Tart, never acid. A spot of lemon sherbet. Light sweet grape on the end. Tidy sour.
