Description
Temporal Artisan Ales is a brewing project that is crafting delicate oak-aged beers in a shared space at Luppolo Brewing Company in Vancouver, BC. The beers we create are fermented 100% in our oak barrels over lengthy periods of time, imparting delicate complexity. Portions of separate barrels are blended to enhance specific characteristics unique to each barrel. Every beer we release has been meticulously crafted from start to finish.

375mL bottle, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Nose is full of eggy farts - oh man, that's like the sulphur-laced water you smell in Iceland - not much else. Flavour is quite acetic, with lots of musty wine grapes, with wild yeast and wood. Fairly vinous and acetic, but it works pretty well. Unusual, but it does come together if you let it.

On tap at Luppolo, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is quite floral and soapy, with gentle white wine notes, earthy notes, and a touch of wood. Flavour is very strange, with a herbal, soapy character upfront that ends up dominating, followed by gentle white wine, gentle tartness, and a little wild character. That soapy, herbal character isn't so pleasing to my palate, but I can appreciate the intent. Not bad.

On tap at Luppolo, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is quite earthy - the cherries aren't very noticeable, nor is the wine, but there is some gentle tartness and wild character. Flavour is quite different, with tons of the Montmorency cherries revealing themselves upfront, accentuated by gentle vinous and woody notes, and an earthy, musty, grape skin character. Those cherries provide more proof of their top quality. Lovely.

On tap at Luppolo, pours a hazy bright red with a small pink head. Aroma is loaded with tart cranberries and currants upfront, with red wine and a tiny hint of the tequila. Flavour is dynamic and complex, with lots of tart currants and cranberries, accentuated well with the red wine barrels and a subtler expression from the tequila. Pleasantly tart, with a dry but dynamic mouthfeel. This is excellent.
