Mach-Limit starts with wine grapes from locally-sourced, family-owned vineyards in Palisade, CO. Once the grapes have been destemmed and crushed, we allow the juice to rest for a few days - developing rich color and depth of flavor - before finally transferring the juice to neutral oak barrels along with our base golden sour. The beer then goes through a secondary fermentation while resting on the grapes, and after a few weeks is ready to bottle. Mach-Limit is fruited at the highest limit allowed, thereby creating a beer that is truly something of a hybrid with intense grape character - almost sangria-like. This beer should age well with proper cellaring, however the grape character may diminish over time.

L - a heavy looking purple-burgundy mix
S - maybe the most wine-forward smell from a beer that I have yet to come across, pretty awesome
T - Sangria-like is mentioned in the description and its pretty much spot on, except the grapes lend themselves to the off-dry tannic side, I would love to throw this into a wine tasting as a segue from wine to beer
F - soft yet dry and crisp at the finish, mouthfeel is initially quite sweet as the fruit is in full effect.
O - I believe this is the same as Supercruise cab-sauv except with he fruit doubled, don't quote me... but it's definitely a different experience, this is gnarly and different and experimental in all the right places. I love how close this comes to wine, even the higher abv is reminiscent for me of my 2 buck chuck days. Awesome beer, definitely seek out.
