One shot to UK retailer Honest Brew's project, which involved 5 other breweries in creating their own "beer of the future", designated for the "drinker of the future".
On the nose immediately boquet of tropical fruit (I feel: pineapple, melon, passion fruit) and citrus fruits (I feel: ripe orange peel and cedar).
Little foam, even with a vertical pour, evanescent and which disappears completely (not even a veil remains on the surface).
Hazy yellow color, lighter on the surface, darker looking down into the glass.
In the mouth, immediately yellow-fleshed fruit and citrus.
Minimal carbonation (almost non-existent), medium body.
Light bitterness that does not "dry" the beer that remains fruity even after drinking.
Honestly at first I did not notice the contribution of the grape must, when the beer reaches a temperature closer to that of the environment, you can actually see a slightly savory note that could refer to that grape variety but, in any case , honestly I would not have noticed if I had not gone in search ... probably even those notes of grapefruit and citrus typical of that grape I would have brought them back to the hops used.
In any case, a fairly full-bodied, fruity, fresh and pleasant beer ... I see it as a traditional Double Dry Hopping Ipa having not fully grasped the impact of the grape must that should have characterized it.
