This Grape Ale showcases a sophisticated fusion of traditional farmhouse brewing and viticulture, featuring the aromatic Johanniter grape. The sensory profile is defined by a delicate floral bouquet and crisp notes of green apple and white peach, seamlessly integrated with the spicy, peppery esters of a farmhouse yeast strain. A base of Pilsner malt provides a lean, cracker-like foundation that allows the Johanniter grape pomace to express subtle tannins and a refreshing vinous acidity. Effervescent and bone-dry, it mimics the elegance of a sparkling white wine while maintaining the rustic, refreshing soul of a Belgian-inspired ale.

Appearance. Pale golden (5 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Topped by a fine-textured, white head with moderate retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Distinctive grape notes of white flowers, lemon zest, and under-ripe apricot dominate. A light, spicy yeast character provides hints of white pepper, complemented by a faint, grainy malt sweetness. No significant hop aroma.

Taste. Initial impression is bright and vinous. Flavors of green grape, pear, and stone fruit lead the palate. The malt character is supportive and crackery. Bitterness is low, acting only to balance the fruit. The fermentation character is clean but spicy. Finishes exceedingly dry and crisp with a light, refreshing tartness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high carbonation that prickles the tongue. Very low alcohol warmth. Highly attenuated and crisp, with a subtle tannin-driven structure from the grape pomace.
