The original idea for this quirky beer came when our owner Paul and Evil Twin's Jeppe added Champagne to a slushie machine full of sour beer at a festival. To recreate that, we blend a grape juice-infused Brut IPA fermented using Champagne yeast with a fruited sour. This edition is one in a series based on Champagne cocktails, so blackcurrant and blackberry have been used to replicate a Kir Royale.
Aroma & Aftertaste:
Sweet and sour blackcurrant, light blackberry notes, Champagne yeast character, complex acidity
