Bro

Tap to rate

Bro is a Swiss Grape Sour at 7.5% ABV, brewed with Morand and 800 litres of organic Petite Arvine juice, one of Valais's emblematic grape varieties, blended into a dry cereal wort. The nose brings white grape, green apple, citrus and subtle floral touches; the palate is light, dry and refreshing, with lively acidity. The brewer sees it as a sparkling white wine in beer form: pour it in a flute, or over ice with Morand Spritz syrup and an orange slice.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with fresh white grape and green apple notes, supported by subtle citrus undertones and delicate floral hints that evolve as the beer warms. Organic Petite Arvine juice dominates without overwhelming, creating an aromatic profile that mirrors a young, bone-dry white wine rather than a traditional beer. The overall effect is clean and inviting, with no harsh or oxidative edges.

◐ Taste

The palate is light and exceptionally dry, with lively acidity that cuts cleanly across the tongue from the first sip. Grape juice character blends seamlessly with a crisp cereal backbone, building a refreshing mid-palate with tart fruit notes and subtle orange nuances. Bitterness remains restrained at 5 IBU, allowing the wine-like fruit profile to take full focus without any resinous or aggressive finish.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively brief, leaving a dry, slightly peppery aftertaste that invites another sip. No cloying sweetness or heavy malt residue lingers; instead, a whisper of white grape and white wine-like minerality completes the drinking experience.
