Kveik, a Norwegian strain of farmhouse yeast, typically handed down through generations, lends clean and tart fermentation flavors to this one-of-a-kind cuvee. To make it, we blend a kveik base with two wine barrels of our house sour culture plus citrus zest, grapefruit, and pink peppercorn. The finished beer is, at first, complex, but infinitely drinkable.

Appearance: Arrives cloudy and orange colored with a two finger head; a curtain of lace
Smell: Sour wheat and pithy tone enveloped by a vinous aspect
Taste: Sour wheat flavors forward with the citrus pith developing; through the middle the vinous character emerges, bringing an herbal white wine aspect; pink peppercorns add heat to the finish
Mouthfeel: Light to medium body with moderate carbonation; slightly prickly and somewhat warming
Overall: Quite an unusual brew, introducing a new yeast profile as well as an unusual pairing of adjuncts
