Brouwerij Hoop in Zaandijk crafts this unconventional Dutch Grape Ale as a hybrid between beer and wine. The straw-blonde brew emerges from fermentation with fresh Dutch Sauvignon Gris grape must, creating an unexpected fusion.

The flavour is crisp and tart with champagne-like qualities and a dry finish. This is not an everyday beer, but rather an aperitif or companion to light dishes. At 6.0% ABV, it retains enough lightness to let the wine and hop character shine through.
