ブドウの上でのビールの長期マセラシオンと自然発酵ワインの追加など、非常に多くのワイン用ブドウを使用したビール。口当たりはまるでワインのよう。オラス・リズリングがフルーティーさを、カベルネ・ソーヴィニヨンがスモーキーさを、メルローが赤い果実のタッチを加える。後味はドライ。

We’ve employed various techniques to use wine grapes in this wild ale. From long-term maceration of the beer on the grapes, to adding our spontaneously fermented wine. This, together with the fact that we’ve never used this much wine grapes in a beer (approximately 625 grams per liter), results in a very wine-like beer with a lot of different layers in taste and aroma. In the nose it’s cherry liqueur, rose petals and tangerine that are dominant, together with a certain minerality. When you taste the beer you experience a very wine like mouthfeel. This, together with it’s bold flavour, is because of the very high concentration of grapes. Olasz Rizling gives it the fruitiness, cabernet sauvignon a certain smokiness and a touch of leather, and merlot an additional touch of red fruit. The aftertaste ends dry, with notes of tabacco and dried prunes. Misto is very ready to drink, but also suitable for longer ageing. The question in a way is, whether one has the patience. The label on the bottle mentions five years after bottling as the best before date. We’d like to note that this is a typesetting error, and our beers should be fine for at least ten years, if stored correctly. Store our beers upright or lying down in a cool, dark place. Our beers are best enjoyed between 12 and 14 degrees Celsius.
