This elegant Brett Beer presents a masterful blend of vinous complexity and rustic charm. Infused with a staggering concentration of Chardonnay and Muscat grapes, the sensory profile is dominated by aromas of white elderflower, honeyed pear, and delicate stone fruit. Extensive barrel aging for up to three years introduces a sophisticated layer of Brett-derived funk, manifesting as sun-dried hay and earthy leather. On the palate, the vinous character is bright and structured, offering a dry, champagne-like finish with a subtle oak-derived tannin. The high alcohol content provides a warming depth that carries the floral Muscat notes and the buttery elegance of Chardonnay through a long, evolving aftertaste.
Appearance. Deep gold to light amber (7-9 SRM). Pours with a moderate white head that fades to a persistent ring of fine bubbles; clarity is slightly hazy due to high grape skin contact and lack of filtration.
Aroma. High intensity. Pronounced notes of fresh Muscat grape, floral elderflower, and ripe apricot. Secondary layers of Brett funk include wet hay and rustic farmyard earthiness, complemented by subtle vanillin and toasted oak from the long barrel maturation. Minimal hop aroma.
Taste. Intensely fruity and vinous initial impression. Flavors of tart green apple and white peach from the Chardonnay transition into a floral, honeyed middle. Bitterness is very low, around 10-15 IBU. The Brett character provides a bone-dry, complex finish with notes of aged leather and mild spice. Malt character is neutral and receding.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with high, sparkling carbonation reminiscent of Champagne. A noticeable, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present. Includes a slight grape-skin tannin and mild astringency that enhances the dry, structured finish.
