Blend of wild fruit cave batches with Bavarian heritage Geisenheim grapes. Brewed as part of the Thumbprint Series.
A few times a year we cut Dan loose to brew whatever he chooses. Always handcrafted, the bottle you hold is brewed for the adventurous soul. This is a very limited edition and we make no promises to ever brew this style again.
Sweet nuances of Bavarian heritage Geisenheim grapes, harvested in New York, dance effortlessly with malted barley and raw wheat in this unexpected celebration of traditional Lambic brewing methods. Dan’s masterful blending of wild fruit cave batches from 2017, 18 and 19 result in this luminous nectar of the Gods. Sparkling notes of honeyed apricot and candied lemon create illusions of summertime honeysuckle and humming birds. Finally, a long six week rest in oak completed the spontaneous fermentation sealing forever this marriage of wine and beer.

Bottle from a trade. Thanks Adam! Pours a clear glistening yellow gold with a finger of white foam that dissipates. Big muscat nose with apricot and honey aromas. Nectar-like texture on the palate with more apricot, grape, honey and light mango notes as it warms. Sweet with some light tanginess on the finish. This is wild, very fun and works perfectly as a dessert beer.
