Berry white Altamont rose beer

Refershingly not too sweet w/ hints of rose wine and raspberries —- good for those who want a non sweet cider type beer that doesn’t taste like apples or traditional beer while not being sour. — 4 months ago

this bottle takes me back to Alsace.
i spent a weekend in Strasbourg in 2006 protesting/partying in front of the European parliament that's located there.
no wine was tasted as i sticked to self imported bottle of zubrowka vodka, drops of potent LSD (that were dropped to the tail end of the vodka by a really short vicious smiling man - true story) and local pilsner beer that i remember fondly that's called 'meteor' and came in large 750ml bottles(pretty good ice cold and just ok after the sun warmed up the last 3rd of the bottle).

and now... 13 years later. different tastebuds. but I'm still the same person essentially.

100% pinot gris

off dry officially but feels dry.

14% ABV

pale green 👀

🧀 rind, green apple, pear, very fresh lemon and finely chopped greens👃

full body. I'm guessing the rs helps to build it.
medium plus acidity.

creamy, tart and a bit fruity with added white pepper and maybe even ginger 👄

long lingering pleasent creamy 🎯 like tasty and slightly bitter 🍬

great wine, no doubt about it.
tasty and complex, plays with you and changes every sip, but always superb.

excelent vfm (110 nis). expensive but works hard for your money.

need to try the winery Riesling now.

had it all day on it's own while vacationing.
soft and spicy cheese platter could have helped but I'm too full. — 5 years ago

My 2nd, group 2nd, initially quite youthful, showing ripe, really grapey, youthful fruit, later it showed some coffee aromas (think coffee beer stouts/porters), which was weird as heck (but 2 other tasters picked up the same aromatic note on their own), this seems VERY RIPE for Burgaud (2009 vintage), but it all works!?!? — 2 years ago

Favorite beer hands down. Haven’t found one that beats it. Originally had it on a ski trip in Vermont. Then, again, at the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference again in Vermont.

Stopped by Carmine’s Beer Store in the West Village and when I saw they carried Frost, I went haywire. Short circuited.

Drank this in earshot (more like noseshot) of bae and she said it smelled like lychee. Well, slap my ass, and call me boozy, she’s right as rice. Lychee, mango, smooth tropical breezes of passionfruit, supple waves of velvety balanced hops and fruit. Double Ponyboy you have my heart and my liver. Odin, have mercy. — 2 years ago

Sturdy

Found these in the cellar, sleeping longer than I meant. Would they be over the hill?

Color is a nice medium golden and the bubbles are small and persistent

👃Pronounced minerality on the nose with grapefruit and apples. Smells rich

👅 Picks up momentum with air and warming. Mostly simple flavors of apples and grapefruit but with very nice slatey minerality. Slight sweetness, nice balance, refreshing acidity, and tight bubbles. Simple, easy drinker

Works with food or it is tasty by itself much in the way a cold beer is tasty and refreshing

Hasn’t lost a step since release

Rich perfume of spices and pomegranate. Specifically pomegranate. Beautiful bee pollen and mulling spices. No harshness. The fragrance of a rich and blossoming garden of roses.

Woah. Zippity zip. We got acidity, and it’s medium to high but with the natural carbonation and juice juice juice, it just works man.

It’s got sour framboise beer qualities, but of course the tannins and the cola like quality just sings.

Patting myself on the back for popping into Simply Wine in Financial District before a rooftop dinner party with some old friends. — 5 years ago
