11/9/25 - (Home) (Chicago, Illinois) Can Notes: Purchased a single 12 oz can at Beer on the Wall at store temperature on 9/12/25 for $5.69 including tax. 7.2% ABV. No can date beyond 1:44 PM time stamp; distributed week ending 8/9/25. A rose-inspired mixed-culture ale fermented with local muscadine grapes, brewed with water from our wells and 99% local ingredients. 100% Can Conditioned: alive inside serve cold! Brewed and canned in NEBO, NC.

Appearance: Poured full can into a large tulip glass, yielding a murky pineapple orange juice base, and a brief white head leaving just a semblance of a ring around the rim and momentary carbonation bubble rising to the top. 3.5

Aroma: Funky white wine, bold and delicious. 4.25

Taste: Consistent with aroma, fresh white grapes, other fruit flavors noted though not added, include cherry, tangerine and peach. Very nice. 4.5

Mouthfeel: Nominal carbonation adds slightly to the sweet watery body. Tart, consistent for the style, nice level of funkiness, cherry white wine finish. 4.25

Overall: This is a solid wild ale, nice levels of funk and fruit medley based on simple local ingredients of muscadine grapes and local well water. Well done! 4.25
