A Note on This Beer

Missed the alert for Beachwood Rose Splendor? Here’s another shot at it before it sells out!

Ever tried Candy Snaps grapes? Probably not — this rare variety has only existed since the early 2000s, and they only show up at specialty produce shops for a few short months each summer.

Which is a shame, because they taste like sweet strawberries with just a hint of tartness. And, they’re one of the things that make today’s Rosé Splendor (2020) so special!

To create this fruit fantasy, the crew at California’s Beachwood Blendery started with a Belgian-style Sour Ale. In the old world tradition, they fermented the brew in oak barrels. Then, they turned tradition on its head with bold additions of real fruit!

On top of the decidedly modern Candy Snaps grapes, the brewers added raspberries, blueberries, and pinot grigio grape juice, and let it all ferment and age together on oak. 

The result is brightly tart with bold berry flavors and subtle nuances of white wine. Hints of wild funk appear, growing more robust before fading on the finish, leaving tangy blueberry to linger long after the sip.

It’ll be months before you’ll have an opportunity to taste fresh Candy Snaps — even during the summer, they can be hard to find. But, you can get a taste right now with Rosé Splendor. Besides, as part of Beachwood’s masterfully blended brew, this rare ingredient tastes even fruitier than fresh off the vine!

“If you love Sour Beers, then this is one of the best places to drink them!” -The Infatuation on Beachwood Blendery

A very interesting beer. The grapes add lots of wine characteristics and, perhaps, that is where the minerality comes from as well. The berries add great layers of fruits and tangy flavors. This kinda drinks like a tart Chardonnay or a savory Gewürztraminer. A rather fun beer to dissect for any wine lover.

really good and interesting sour, lower rating because it was a bit too tart for my taste. if you’re into sours and can handle the more intense ones, it’s definitely worth a try

Tastes like sour berry wine. I don’t really think it’s one that I’ll be getting again. Nice to try once if you enjoy sours

A smooth sour. Tartness is not overpowering. The chosen grape works well. Reminds me of a cascade beer which is the golden standard of a quality sour style beer.

Definitely not for me, only beer I’ve ever poured down the sink. I don’t mind a really sour ale, but this was sour with a terrible taste. Definitely an acquired taste.

Too sour to enjoy. I guess I can taste some berries and grapes but it’s basically just an expensive bottle of apple cider vinegar
