Allagash Confluence was one of the first truly Brett Beers I've ever had. I remember the experience very well, my good friend Ben bought me a 2009 Confluence for my birthday. We shared it that night and I recall being blown away with how the flavor changed with each sip as the beer warmed up. I was hoping to accomplish something similar, with using a very simple Belgian Singel base wort and letting the yeast be the main focus. After about 6 months, I wasn't too impressed (with my experience now, I probably wouldn't have touched it) so I added a 750 ml bottle of Muscat grape juice. This grape is popular in sweet dessert wines and I really like the taste and aroma.
This beer is already pretty old, but I am looking forward to occasionally tasting this beer and seeing how it changes.
Where did you get muscat juice? Ive been wanting to do a slightly soured blonde with pink muscat, but I rarely see the actual grapes
ReplyDeleteAt a very small winery in Escondido, CA called Ferrara Winery. http://www.ferrarawinery.com/san-diego-wines.html
ReplyDeleteI really like the flavor of the muscat grape juice. I am not sure if it is available year round. I talked with the owner for a while and I may try to get some grapes from him during the Fall harvest.
Let me know if you want help getting a bottle.
