Beers similar to Venijn

Italian Grape Ale·Netherlands·6.3% ABV·One of 12 Italian Grape Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Venijn's dry and fruity character. Venijn is an annual special with the Haagse Stadswijngaard: pulp left over from the vineyard's grape harvest goes into the brew, giving the beer a red colour and a fresh-sour finish. Champagne yeast makes it dry, and a light bitterness completes it. The name comes from the saying that beer after wine gives venom. Each edition is a limited run.
