What is it? When someone tells you they like chardonnay, it can mean everything and nothing. You have chardonnay from Chablis which has a lot of stone fruits and minerality. Or you can have a creamy chardonnay with a bit of oak contact for some body. But if you want both, Savigny-les-Beaune has a nice […]
What is it? This is from the premier cru Clos Saint-Jean. Ramonet is known as one of the greatest producers from Burgundy. He’s very famous for his white, but he also does a red in very small production. You get the structure of a beautiful red burgundy from Cote de Beaune: more finesse and feminine with a lot of soft […]
What is it? Fixin is in the northern part of Cote de Nuits, close to a very famous village called Gevrey-Chambertin. In France, people had a very bad idea about Fixin. They thought it was very rustic and rich. But more and more producers are getting the balance between keeping the identity of the village […]
What is it? Santenay is a village that is located very close to three big villages in Burgundy: Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet and Saint-Aubin. It has a similar terroir to Chassagne-Montrachet, so santenay has a flavour profile that’s a bit like chassagne-montrachet’s little brother. How does it taste? You get this freshness, something slightly toasty and buttery, with […]
What is it? American brewers Founders have form for fruit beers: their Rubaeus is held as one of the best commercial examples. This mango and habanero number was the first of last year’s experimental Backstage Series, and was back by public demand after an earlier incarnation featured in the 2013 Backstage Series. How does it […]
What is it? Alphabet Brewing Co (ABC) checks off the letter G with Gogglebox, a fruit-filled pale ale. Raspberry and vanilla are not the only addition, though: tonka bean is also listed on the label. How does it taste? It pours cloudy with a nose like raspberry ripple ice cream, then hints of lemon and […]
What is it? Aussie iconoclasts Moon Dog could be seen as barking mad, putting the lunar in lunacy with their envelope-torturing concoctions – their beerography includes a Bloody Mary breakfast ale and one made with Redskins, an Aussie candy. This Watermelon Weizen follows in the footsteps of their Magnificent Mullet fruit beer series – Melon […]
What is it? Samuel Smith’s fruit beers are brewed and fermented on antique equipment at the Melbourn Bros’ All Saints Brewery in Stamford, Lincolnshire – the English county is a fruit hotspot – rather than in the brewer’s North Yorkshire home (although it is conditioned, aged and packaged there). Aside from this certified organic strawberry […]
