GRAPE ALE made with SYRAH SKINS —
LYRA is a first for us - SYRAH skins - so we went all out and used a grape skins beer ratio higher than ever before and aged it on skins for 35 days.
We then blended in a splash of riesling at bottling (11% by volume) to broaden the acidity.
The result is beautiful, it’s truly spicy, earthy, and rich. This beer captures the essence of the Syrah skins we got (from Pearl Morissette - this is also their first vintage working with Syrah - we’ve tasted it and can confirm the wine is going to be amazing).
TASTES LIKE: Purple pepper spicy grapefruit rollup

Bottle from the brewery. Dark purple pour, with a small pink head. Aroma is tart, acidic and quite vinous. The Syrah really penetrate the base beer. Dark berries, light hops. Mouth feel is full, carb is soft. Finish is dry, surprisingly alot of tannins, cherries, and blackberries.
