Cervino Riesling
Funk Factory Geuzeria

 

Crystal clear golden body with a white collar. Most beer-wine hybrids swing one way or the other, but this truly feels 50/50. Nose shows this in how the dry and sweet white wine meets the deep funk and wild yeast, giving off notes of lemon, pear, hibiscus, and white grape. Oak backs all. Taste hits with grape juice and funk up front, sweet and funky notes of pear, lemon, white grape, and orange zest from before the oak and wild yeast anchor the beer aspects. If I had to pick I would say nose leans beer and taste wine, but close. Feel is smooth, buttery, funky, lightly sour, and lightly acidic on the finish. Very bright and cool. Fun beer/wine beer

amazing project from Funk Factory. Had the Cabernet blend on tap and didn't realize until I bought the bottle of Riesling that it is literally 50/ 50 beer and wine. This drink is the perfect middle point between natural wine and spontaneously fermented beer -- leaving me thinking the naive and yet singularity-inspired thought , "all the liquids I like to drink are just different fruits and grains colonized by bacteria and aged in wood."
