Ever tried beer made with wine? Here’s your chance with this white ale that the Yeastie’s have added to their 2014 ‘Spoonbender’ series. Taking a small portion of Gladstone Vineyard’s ‘Pushmi’ white wine (sauvignon and viognier) to create a candy-sugar to use alongside the malts and hops in the brew, the ‘Pullyu’ is a strong, yet complex ale that has sneaky sweetness, making it perfect as an aperitif. Soft, spicy and tropical, there’s a wheaty, bready layer across the mid-palate and a long, cleansing finish.
