When the brewers at Mad Fox and the team of Granville Moore’s got together to collaborate on a brew we knew it had to Belgian inspired. We chose the yeast strain from the Duvel Moortgat Brewery, malts from Europe that include German pilsen, Belgian biscuit and aromatic. Then we used Citra hops for both kettle additions and dry hopping. The result is very complex yeast characteristic melding with a very fruit forward hop. This brew also packed a surprising amount of malt that after fermentation weighs in at a robust. Aged in Cabernet Barrels.

8oz pour at the brewery. Pours a hazy orange with some tight, sudsy head. Nose has some vinous notes, a crackery backbone, some white grape, plenty of raw wood. Flavors follow suit, lightly sweet, grape juice, some mild lemon, a little bit of cheese curd but then vanilla and raw wood. Creamy finish. Nice enough.

Poured a hazy orange color, very small head. Was some light hops, but mostly wine barrel with some light funky cheese notes. Started off a bit like cheddar, not very pleasant, but the funky wine notes beat out the other aromas and win the day. Flavor is nice wine notes, some funk, with a nice light undercurrent of citrus.
