After the Equilibrista, our beer inspired by the Champagne world, here it is a new experiment on the “wine meets beer” theme. This time, though, we tipped the scales in favour of beer, adding to the Duchessa wort only a 25% of wine must: in this case we used Malvasia (coming from our friends of Tenuta di Bibbiano, as usual), a white, aromatic grape variety which gives the beer a gentle and nice sharpness and an inusual, fruity nose. The beer is bottle-fermentd using Champagne-yeasts, and it has a quite intense “perlage” (bubbles) that makes it perfect as an aperitif or even for the whole meal. The “chaotic” label was designed by Valentina De Luca, an Art student at the Istituto d’Istruzione Superiore Antonio Cederna of Velletri (Rome), who won our contest “Etichette Bizzarre”.

Leaves behind no lacing whatsoever. That aroma is musty and the taste is very much like that of champagne. Very carbonated and something that wine and champagne lovers might really enjoy.

Caos 2012 on tap at Brigantessa in South Philly for $8 (regular price ten dollars)

Is this really a beer? Not quite sour, not quite bubbly... barely any carbonation. Reminds me of a mead. Honey and apricot, lemonade, clove. Fresh herbs, lavender?

Sour apple, chamomile, spice, cologne...

The mouthfeel doesn't work- too thin and lacking.

Overall this thing is drinkable but not outrageous. Glad I tried it, though
