Flügge

This elegant Grape Ale showcases a sophisticated interplay between heritage grain and regional fruit. The use of local Chevallier malt provides a sturdy yet lean cracker-like foundation that supports a vibrant, vinous acidity. Bright Rheinhessen Riesling grapes introduce notes of green apple and white blossoms, while the addition of Wetterau Quince adds a floral, honeyed depth and a distinctively perfumed aromatic profile. Fermented to a bone-dry, mild-sour finish, the beer balances its crisp fruit-forward character with a clean, sparkling effervescence. It is a refreshing, complex fusion of orchard fruit and vineyard elegance, bridging the gap between traditional brewing and fine white wine.

Appearance. Pale straw to light golden (4-6 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a fine-beaded white head that has medium-low retention, eventually settling into a delicate ring of foam.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity featuring fragrant, rose-like perfume from the Quince and floral Riesling must. Underlying notes of honey and green apple meld with a very low, clean bready malt character from the Chevallier malt. Hop aroma is absent.

Taste. Initial impression is crisp and fruit-driven, featuring tart green grapes and the exotic floral flavor of Quince. The malt character is supportive and lean, reminiscent of water crackers. Bitterness is very low (approx. 10-15 IBU), with a mild lactic tartness providing structure. The finish is exceedingly dry and clean with a lingering vinous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Light-bodied with high carbonation that produces a prickly, champagne-like sensation. Alcohol warmth is negligible. The finish is crisp and highly refreshing with a faint, pleasant fruit skin astringency.
