From the label“After processing the grape clusters from our Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon, we used fresh beer to capture the flavor that would otherwise have been wasted and left in the skins. Blurred CST is a tart saison echoed on wine grapes and aged in oak. The resulting blend is a beverage with low tannin, light body, and a touch of acidity. Hints of cherry blossom, melon, and dried figs highlight the unique qualities that fresh, whole grapes can contribute.”
