Collective Arts Brewing Wild Sour (Gewürztraminer White Grape Skins)

In this Wild Sour, we used a Brettanomyces strain (a form of yeast) to highlight the pineapple and peaches found in our golden sour base. We incorporated local Ontario wine grapes to reflect the natural combination of the flavours. Known for having notes of sweet pineapple, Gewürztraminer (a wine grape) was a natural choice to the addition of a golden sour. These heavier oak characters were key to round out the base and highlight the fruit. Up front the pineapple hits first with a vinous peach character following closely behind. The body is dry, but round with light acid to give a full perception of fresh fruit with the tannins from the grapes and oak to finish.    7.7% ABV
