A blend of 19 month and 28 month Lambic inspired spontaneously fermented ales aged in wine barrels and then conditioned on whole Virginia merlot Grapes.

"Closer Glimpse Merlot is blended 19 month and 28 month, spontaneously fermented Lambic-inspired ale. It was brewed using a traditional turbid mash bill/process, aged leaf hops, an extended boil, then naturally cooled and inoculated in our koelschip, barrel-fermented and aged. We then conditioned it on 700g/L of whole, Virginia merlot grapes from @flyingfoxwines!"

Spontanales & White Fish

Funky, bretty, lightly sour and vinous. Spontanales are a great alternative to a white wine. They pair greatly with asparagus and white fish. Spontanales while having a very distinct taste are light and don’t overpower any dish. They are great beers to share and let sit in the glass to develop over time. Thus, opt for spontanales when you are not in a rush.

Spontanale

Just like the sour ale, spontanale is the term that Mikkeller uses when brewing beers using the same method of spontaneous fermentation that is traditionally used in lambic. Since lambic is a regional specialty though, anyone brewing it outside of the Pajottenland has to call it something else.
