As you might know, we often cross the boundaries between beer and wine — and vice versa. In that sense, this wild ale is no exception.
We made a blend of several barrels of beer with different ages (1 up to 2 years old), which were macerated with different types of grapes — three in total: Olasz Rizling (white), Muscat (white), and a little bit of Kékfrankos (red). The concentration of fruit in this wild ale is high: 425 grams per litre.

Pours a cloudy, rose coloration with a small, frothy head that soon fades to nothing. Smells of light doughy malt, distinct white and red grapes, lighter notes of estery fruit and spice, as well as hints of tannic oak and musty funk. Taste is a great balance of doughy malt and distinct, yet mellow, tart red and white grapes, as well as hints of estery fruity and spice, with subtle notes of pear, apricot, red berries and white pepper, rounded out by some musty, tannic oak and light, underlying funk and acidity. Finishes quite dry, with a light tartness and some grapes and tannic oak lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.
This is perhaps the most vinous Wild Ale that I've had so far, almost drinking more like a rosé wine than a beer with its dry and fruity character, light tartness and tannic accents. While it doesn't feel all that rich and funky, there is an excellent, subtle balance of fruity and musty, oaky elements to this, which makes this feel very mellow and refreshing, yet not without a certain complexity and rounded out very nicely by a pleasantly light acidity that does not overpower the beer. I really enjoyed the mellow, dry and fruity character, subtle tartness and musty, tannic undertones here, making for a very refreshing, yet complex drinking experience that absolutely belies the relatively high ABV of 8.5% here, which is not noticeable at all.
