Somewhere between beer and wine, the flavors found in this beer blur the lines. BLURRED with Barbera Grapes utilizes whole cluster grapes from our friends at Heringer Estates in Northern California. While the Barbera grapes highlight notes of blackberry, red mulberry, and cacao, the mixed fermentation beer provides a soft canvas of citrus and mellow ripe pear.

750ml bottle pours a transparent purple with a ring of white head. Nose has funk, weirdly green and funky out of the gate, vinous, woodsy too with some savory herbs, lemon juice or grapefruit lurking. Flavor has a lot of grape, some neutral barrel which also helps with some tannins, savory herbs, a little malt lurking, biscuit even, some light balsamic. Finishes fairly full bodied, lightly tart. Very cool.
