For those who appreciate the tangy allure of sour beer and the unique twist of a grape skin sour, Ocho Beer is excited to present the latest batch of Piquette. This collaboration with Peco Wines delivers a piquette-style beer that combines elegance with refreshing complexity.
What Makes Piquette Special?
Piquette is a fruited sour ale crafted with a distinct approach. By macerating sauvignon blanc and chardonnay skins from Peco Wines in a simple sour ale, we’ve created a beer that’s both sophisticated and accessible. With an ABV of 3.7%, it offers a light yet flavorful drinking experience that's perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients and Crafting Process
Piquette’s unique flavor profile comes from a blend of high-quality ingredients:
- Malts: A combination of pale malt, wheat, and oats forms the base of this beer, providing a light and smooth mouthfeel that complements the fruity elements.
- Yeast: We use Philly Sour yeast to achieve the perfect level of sourness and enhance the beer's refreshing qualities.
- Fruit: The addition of sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, and frontignac skins from Peco Wines imparts a delicate fruitiness and a touch of elegance to the sour ale.
The Flavor Profile
Piquette pours with a light, hazy golden color and a frothy white head. The aroma is immediately inviting, with hints of fresh grapes and citrus. On the palate, you'll experience a crisp and refreshing sourness, balanced by subtle notes of white wine and a touch of tartness. The blend of sauvignon blanc and chardonnay skins adds a nuanced complexity that makes this sour ale both intriguing and approachable.
