Afterwards, we both took it in different directions. Our version was blended with some Skin Contact Gewurtz. Rob blended theirs with a small beer aged on Cab Franc skins. Still following? We bottled each version separately, and they’re both available in each of our shops (and websites) respectively."

750mL bottle, pours a fairly clear dark-ish amber with a small off-white head. Aroma reveals a fair amount barnyard funk, some rustic notes, crisp pear skins, musty dry grape skins, and a touch of pineapple. Flavour is bright, funky, and complex, with juicy pineapple, barnyard funk, some champagne effervescence, a touch of grape skins, and crisp pears. The juicy sweetness is mild, but melds with funky character really well. Carbonation is higher than average, which tempers the sweetness. Complex and nuanced. Excellent.

(750ml 2020 bottle from the Revel webshop) Pours clear salmon pink with a decent white head that’s stable. Aroma is rich deep pear, dried cherry, floral grapes, some crab-apple tart punch, woody barrel undertones, slight hint of fruit vinegar, funky earthy hops giving a lambic-esque feel, a little lychee-type tropical fruit too from the Gewurz I guess. Flavour is pretty bright, lightly to moderately tart, sweet pears and berry wine gums, tannic crabapple, floral tropical fruit undertones and white wine, soft barrel tones, finish is berry-forward and lightly bitter with good fine tannins, plush wine, some pear residual sugars, a little earth and round buttery oak. Medium-bodied, oily, above average bottle conditioned carbonation. This is definitely sweeter than the typical Revel bottling (interestingly the 2019 pineapple collab was unusually sour), but it’s extremely juicy as a result and there’s enough tartness to temper things. The combination of different elements is super-complex and knits together really nicely. Delicious. I wish Revel made more beer collaborations in general.
