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.

Bottle pour at Weathered, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is full of acidity, perfumey notes, and subdued stone fruits. Flavour is moderately acidic, with faint tart stone fruits, vinegar, and a little oak. Acidic and thin, with not much fruit character. The hops are pretty subdued. And there is generally not a whole lot of complexity. Not my favourite from Temporal.

On tap at Luppolo, pours a cloudy dark bright reddish pink with a small pink head. Aroma reveals intense berries and currants upfront, with plenty of red wine barrels pummelling through. Flavour is intense, with lots of red wine barrels, alcohol, and fruity berry notes. Fairly harmonious, but the acetic character tickles the nose hairs a bit—a little harsh. Fun stuff.

Draught at Luppolo, North Vancouver
Deep red colour, opaque. Intense aroma, wine barrel, funky yeast, fruit. Dry, with sharp acidity, juicy and winey, bit of acetic and dough, sour berries; strong astringent feeling in the finish.
Good degree of complexity; aggressive sourness.

Beautiful styrofoam pink foam, deep pink body. Heavy currant aroma, wood notes, burlap even, earthiness that brings back memories of faraway fruit farms. Flavour is bitter yet sweet black currant, just the right amount of sourness. Crisp finish. Everything about this is working. Well done.

This pours deep pink with whiteish head, smooth synthesizers on the back end, it smells softly of brett yeast and sweet cranberry, sharp yet memorable and then there's these three kids in this movie hustling for bus fare by playing Double Dragon... did that ever really work? The flavour is sharp and tart cranberry and currant, a bit of cloying sweetness. Medium on the mouth. It probably just works as another okay fruity ale.
