Unlike the standard version of Surfer Rosé, Harvest Edition 2022 features subtle complexities from a very different treatment of the same base beer. We started with the standard table beer with 10% Merlot juice but fermented it with an expressive yeast from the Ardennes region in Belgium & France coupled with our standard Belgian wild yeast. At the end of fermentation we added Merlot grape pomace from Niagara's Ferox Winery and let the beer age for just under a month. The beer was then re-fermented in the bottle for a fine, effervescent carbonation and then allowed to condition for another month in the bottle. The result is a lively beer with a beautiful pink colour, presenting aromas of wine barrels and field berries. The flavour offers more notes of berries, a faint whaft of barnyard hay and a slight tannic quality ending with a refreshing dryness. This beer can be aged for up to 2 years and will develop a more complex and funky profile.
