#Repost @tales_and_ales @loophole.brewing The Astral Project - Piquette Pressed Farmhouse Sour 4.8% I’ve been looking forward to its release since Tom gave us a sneak peek at the brewery last year. Traditionally a style of French wine produced by adding water to grape pomace after pressing, I’m excited to see a Piquette sour and the result is pretty much my perfect blend of wine and beer. For this version Loophole used hand-picked late harvest Cabernet grapes from @capejaffawines vineyard, rinsed the basket pressed skins with spring water and a blonde fruited sour before secondary ferment, followed by conditioning and carbonation in tank. I get aromas of ripe red grapes, blackcurrant, raspberry and floral notes. More ripe berry on the palate and elegant skinsy, slightly funky sour but not too tart flavours with a light spritz. Soft, light mouthfeel with the slightest hint of tannin at the finish. Not your typical sour, this is light, refined, and refreshing and I’ll definitely be looking for more of it to drink over the next few months. Swipe left for the awesome colour 🤩 Purchased from @hwybottleshop (cheers for the heads up @naisjnr ) #piquette #farmhousesour #sourbeer #beertasting #thirstquencher #beerreview #wineandbeer #theastralproject #loopholebrewing #limestonecoast #mountbenson #capejaffawines #southaustralia #craftbeersa #beerselfie #beerchicksaustralia https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm7LAmTvOJ9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The next Astral Project beer from @loophole.brewing and @capejaffawines sees a blonde sour ale merged with some semillon and a touch of oak. The sour is gentle with elements of lemon. The white wine features quite prominently bringing in a balanced dryness. There is oak there but only ever so subtly. It has a nice lively carbonation that I think matches the style nicely. The 8.5 percent is no where to be seen, just a really well balanced, complex but sessionable beer. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEgNs6epNzd/?igshid=11mprktax25q4

Here is a super interesting project coming out of @loophole.brewing and @capejaffawines. The Astral Project merges the beer and wine world into one. This one is their 7.4% Malbec Sour that has had contact with the grape skins. It pours bright red or almost fluorescent dark pink. There is a beetroot type earthiness on the nose with a little grape sweetness. The sour balances with sweet with the latter just coming out on top. Jammy and sticky balances sweet and sour. Keen to try the other three. https://www.instagram.com/p/CCz_6BNpGit/?igshid=11dqnpamyxh2z
