When it comes to fruit additions in sour beer, there are many combinations and experimentations that work well. Alternatively, there is this beer infusing a mixed fermentation blend with the blood of a Roman god. Enter the Sangiovese Grape, also colloquially known as the Blood of Jupiter. This hybrid release brings a dimension to the blend that only this thin-skinned, mildly tannic little fruit can provide. Making up traditionally ~70% of all Chianti blends, it provides a vinous reductive value to an already complex equation. With a presentation of red currant, pleasant spicy notes, with a far-off hint of tobacco leaf, the resultant flavour is far from the individuality of the inputs. Saluti!

Superficial festival rating @ Rebel Beer Fest 2024. Slightly unclear reddish golden body without any head. Acidic aroma of lemon and grapefruit. Really sour taste, vinegar, lemon, grapefruit. Medium body with acidic aftertaste as well. Rather one-dimensional on the acidic side, not able to detect any grape flavors or anything vinous. Refreshing in smaller amounts.

750mL bottle sampled at Weathered 2023, pours a clear ros� colour with a small white head. Aroma brings out dusty grapes, light funk, and sourness. Flavour is acidic, with tart cherries, light grapes, and sourness. It's a bit off-kilter and not really hitting the right notes, but it's fine.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Cloudy dull orange with very minimal white head. Vinous and acidic with some berry notes, decent.

750ml @ Sales Force. Appearance: hazy copper with almost no head. Aroma: acidic, barrel, berries. Taste: along the same lines with interesting candy-ish berries notes. Overall: quite unique and interesting.

Cloudy, amber, some plum sort of colour to this. The aroma has a bit of acetic, and on the palate it's got a nice vinous note. It is sharp, and there's a nice fruitiness from the sangiovese, which lends nice sweetness.
