This beer is made in the traditional Belgian way i.e. a grist of 40% raw wheat and 60% malted barley, a turbid mash, aged hops, a long boil, spontaneously fermented (the wort is cooled overnight in an open tray allowing wild yeast and bacteria to inoculate it), aged in oak barrels for 2 years and then refermented on Pinot Gris grapes for 2mths before conditioning. The whole process takes about 3 years.
Karamu Grape Ale - pinot gris - is ready to drink after about four months of conditioning. However, although it continues to evolve, it remains great drinking for many years.
It sits between the worlds of beer and wine displaying notes of grain, hops and Pinot Gris. It is remarkably light and refreshing considering the ABV
