Chien Bleu

This Grape Ale presents a sophisticated bridge between a crisp, sparkling wine and a clean malt base. Defined by its vinous elegance, it mimics the character of a hybrid between cider and wine, offering a bright, orchard-fruit acidity alongside refined grape notes. The 6% ABV provides a light, approachable frame for the delicate interplay of white grape must and a neutral, supportive grain bill. Effervescent and refreshing, it highlights the aromatic qualities of the fruit without losing its identity as a beer. The experience is defined by a bone-dry finish and a clean, lively fermentation profile that emphasizes clarity and fruit-forward poise.

Appearance. Presents a brilliant, pale golden color (approx. 4-6 SRM). The head is white with medium-low retention, showing fine-beaded bubbles and minimal lacing.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics of white grape varietals dominate, followed by subtle notes of crisp apple and pear. The malt character is very low, suggesting pale crackers. Hop aroma is absent, and the fermentation is very clean with only a delicate hint of spicy yeast esters.

Taste. Initial impression is very crisp and vinous. Grape flavors are medium-high in intensity, supported by a light-kilned, crackery malt base. Bitterness is low (approx. 15 IBUs), allowing a mild tartness from the grape must to brighten the palate. The finish is exceedingly dry and crisp, leaving a lingering, clean fruit aftertaste without any harshness or funk.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light in body with a very high, champagne-like carbonation that provides a lively, scrubbing effect. Alcohol warmth is very low and well-integrated. There is a slight, pleasant dryness from fruit acidity but no astringency.
