Vin Folie Grenache is a 100% wild fermented Farmhouse Ale Co-fermented with South Australian Grenache grapes. It was like doing ‘a ferment within a ferment’ and the result is a pink stained wild yeast focused ale that has juicy Grenache grape characters with a funky and raw mid-palate and very dry finish that blurs the lines between wine & beer. Refreshingly well-attenuated and juicy.

Bottle shared by mrjez, Light cloudy gold with a minimal head and a big fruity aroma, nice wine like full bratty notes as well. Light Boss ed, acidic and crisp. The taste is acidic wine and golden wheat with rich wine notes. Really good smooth stuff.

Bottle, 8C. Hazy gold with a white head that fizzes away to nothing as it’s poured. 3- Bright funky aroma with underripe stone fruit, Germoline, grape skins. Sour with lactic slipperiness. Fruit - not obviously grapes, but unripe peach, nectarine, wild strawberries, lemons - with some rustic grain, then sour funk and some bracken take over. Is it a bit tannic at the end or is that suggestion? Good.[3.8] Gold. A little column of bubbles in a Duvel glass but no head at all. diffs: no medicinal notes. Woody, not tannic at the end. Dry there. Caged sunshine.
