Beer Profile

culminate grand cru: merlot

Culminate Grand Cru: Merlot is a lambic-inspired ale featuring complex layers from its unique aging process. Blended from 42- and 20-month-old spontaneously fermented ales, it is matured in red wine barrels and conditioned on Merlot grapes. The beer exhibits a deep, reddish hue with a nuanced aroma of tart cherries, dark berries, and subtle oak influence. On the palate, it balances bright acidity with rich fruitiness, complemented by earthy, vinous notes and a firm, dry finish. At 9.8% ABV, it presents a full-bodied character with a lively effervescence that highlights its intricate fermentation and aging profile.
