From the vines come the grapes, from the bines the hops. Vines & Bines is a true Canadian product. It is a clear, highly effervescent Kolsch-style ale made with Alberta barley from Origin Malting and fermented with Sauvignon Blanc grape juice and skins from the Niagara-on-the-Lake wine region in Ontario.
It finishes dry and crisp with luscious stonefruit notes and hints of lychee and lime. It is dry-hopped with the New Zealand hop varietal Nelson Sauvin, known for its aromatic qualities akin to Sauvignon Blanc wine. It comes in a can, but you may want to enjoy it from a champagne flute – go ahead, we won’t judge…

Canned October 22 so a pretty fresh can.
Appearance - Pours a clear straw with two fingers of bubbly white head.
Smell - citrus and nelson sauvin hops, pear, melon, gooseberry, passionfruit, grape must, bready malts, and earthy yeast.
Taste - bold citrus and nelson sauvin hops upfront. The melon, gooseberry, passionfruit, and grape must come through next. The bready malts and earthy yeast round out the brew.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes crisp and off-dry with the hops and fruits and elements of the sauvingon blanc style lingering.
Overall - A quaffable and unique take on the kölsch style by experimenting with nelson sauvin hops and fermenting it on sauvignon blanc grape skin and juice. A must try if you come across it.
