Beer Profile

foeder-aged grapevine

Foeder-Aged Grapevine is a farmhouse ale brewed with wild grape vines, leaves, and green fruit, then aged for a year in an oak foeder. This 6.2% ABV ale offers a delicate aroma of fresh white grapes balanced by subtle earthy and vegetal notes from the wild grape components. On the palate, it reveals a gentle tannic structure reminiscent of grape skins, supported by a crisp, dry character. The extended oak aging imparts a pronounced woody finish that complements the tart fruitiness, resulting in a complex and nuanced beer with a refined farmhouse character.
