Supplication is unique in that it doesn't taste of beer in the traditional sense. Brewed in used Pinot Noir wine barrels, the Grapes and sour Cherries play a big part in developing its overall flavor. Add a boost of heavy carbonation, and this beer is a great substituion for a small bottle of bubbly – I'll say cheers to that!
The Washdown:
- grape nose that pours with a small head and tastes sweet 'n sour (Russian River Brewing Co. in Santa Rosa, CA) 7% ABV
At $12-14 per 12 oz bottle, just like champagne, this beer's not a daily brew, but rather something to be celebrated for special occassions.
