Freehaus is an ongoing collaboration between Carolina Bauernhaus Ales & Freehouse Brewery. We are sharing barrels, yeast, and most importantly ideas. Jupiter Gold is the first result of our efforts. The blend of yeast & bacteria used to ferment this golden sour ale came from Freehouse's sour tank along with our house native yeast culture. The beer matured for nearly a year in three cabernet barrels before blending in over 200 pounds of Upstate SC Jupiter Gold grapes. Jupiter Gold has a beguiling vinous note and a bracing acidity coupled with a dry refreshing finish.

Thanks to Francois for sharing this bottle.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a hazy golden hue with loads of particulate in it.

S - Aromas of earthy funk, lemon, light tannins.

T - Taste is similar to the nose with loads of slightly sweet lemons and tannins. Decent amount of funk and also big lactic notes.

M - Mouthfeel is brightly carbonated, flemmy.

O - Overall this was a rather disappointing beer. Decent sharp acidity and funk though.

Bottle from Tavour
Slightly hazy deep straw color with a thin white head, Huge lemony tartness on the nose and in the flavor with a fair amount of earthy fruity funk. Faint vinous grape notes round this out nicely. Really nice puckerfest.
