I was faced with a dilemna. I wanted a glass (or three) of wine but I didn't have any chilled. Since there's always cold brews in the fridge, I decided to "settle" for a beer.
Ironically, I had a Dogfish Head Noble Rot in the cooler - a beer made with unfermented wine grape juice (AKA grape must).
Noble Rot (9% ABV) is a farmhouse style beer. It pours a clear sunny golden color with a big bubbled head that leaves almost no lace behind.
The aroma is yeasty with hints of flowers and fresh citrus.
The taste is like a crisp cold chardonnay. It is pleasantly tart with Belgian funkiness. A wonderful blend of wine-like flavor and a sour beer. The finish is dry.
The mouthfeel is light and effervescent.
Noble Rot is a lovely beer that fulfilled my craving for wine in an unexpected but delightful way.
Overall: very good.
