More than 18 months in the making, Vitalis is a blend of mixed fermentation white wine barrel aged beers that then rested on Marsanne and Roussane Grapes. The result is a wonderfully complex and layered beer offering juicy pear, fresh cut cantaloupe, and melon, with balanced vibrant interwoven acidity. It’s oakiness helps balance its tart, funk, and fruit qualities.

L: Pours a pale gold color with good clarity. The pour produces a finger of off white head that quickly dies falling to a sleight ring around the glass. A plethora of carb streamers rise from the bottom of the glass to let me know it’s still carbonated.
S: white grapes, orchard character, oak notes, a hint of funk, and lactic acid.
T: white grapes, orchard character in form of green apple skins, light oaky funk, tart lactic character on the backend, and a light tannic impression grips the palate on the finish.
F: Light body with medium light carbonation.
O: Aged very well with no oxidation present. This is a world class mixed fermentation ale. The beer was less expressive and tannic at colder temps, but as the beer warmed and opened up its complexity revealed itself. I hope that CW continues its spontaneous ale experimentation.
