Mickas Craft Beer

Mickas Craft Beer Grape Ale White is an elegant hybrid that masterfully bridges the gap between a refined sparkling wine and a clean Belgian-style ale. At 8% ABV, it presents a sophisticated profile where the addition of white grapes introduces vibrant layers of white peach, pear, and floral blossom. A foundation of Pilsner malt ensures a crisp, crackery backdrop that supports the fruit without competing for attention. The fermentation is exceptionally clean, allowing the vinous qualities to shine through a bone-dry, effervescent finish. This Grape Ale offers a complex, refreshing experience that balances subtle tartness with a warming, sophisticated strength.

Appearance. Pours a brilliant pale golden color (SRM 5-7). Features a bright white head with medium-low retention that fades to a thin collar, leaving minimal lacing. Clarity is excellent, exhibiting a sparkling, wine-like transparency.

Aroma. High intensity of vinous white grape character, showing notes of gooseberry, white peach, and a hint of honey. The malt is supportive and neutral with a light cracker-like Pilsner character. Hop aroma is very low and floral, while the fermentation is clean with only a delicate, peppery yeast-derived spice.

Taste. The initial impression is crisp and fruit-forward, dominated by white grape flavors and a mild tartness. Malt flavors are subtle and bready, providing a lean foundation. Hop bitterness is very low (approx. 15 IBU), serving only to balance the fruit. The finish is exceedingly dry and effervescent, with a lingering vinous aftertaste and no residual sugar.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a high, sparkling carbonation that creates a prickly sensation on the tongue. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, consistent with its 8% ABV. Mouthfeel is clean and refreshing with no tannin-driven astringency.
