355ml can - a wild ale, refermented with Sauvignon Blanc grape must.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium golden yellow colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, finely foamy, and mildly fizzy eggshell white head, which leaves some sudsy and streaky lace around the glass as it evenly bleeds out of sight.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, a faintly funky yeastiness, white wine lees, a further generic citrus fruitiness, and some plain herbal, earthy, and musty hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, subtle white grape juice, some muddled tropical fruity notes, sort of acrid yeast, and more well-understated leafy, herbal, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite active in its palate-pinging frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and sort of smooth, as the yeasty character kind of ramps up as things warm up a bit around here. It finishes trending dry, the yeast-riddled wine essence showing the most lingering swagger.
Overall - this comes across as a pleasant enough version of the style, with the grape must experience mostly limited to the aroma. It's actually rather refreshing, and with no sign of the extra point and a half of ABV, easy to put back while I putter around, waiting for Spring to become sprung, as my dear ol' mom used to say.
