Rays of Solaris

Tap to rate

Rays of Solaris is a gentle beer-sekt with typical vinous tones: rich, juicy fruit meets the delicate taste of Solaris grapes and a very fine sparkle. The beer macerates for several months on these white grapes, a very early-ripening, flavour-rich and aromatic variety. The grapes come from the brewery's own vineyard, so the team can watch their ripeness closely.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Rays of Solaris

◎ Appearance

Rays of Solaris presents a pale, luminous straw-yellow hue with excellent clarity and a delicate, persistent white head. Fine carbonation creates a gentle mousse rather than aggressive bubbles, lending the beer a refined, champagne-like appearance. The lacing clings softly to the glass, leaving a gossamer trace of foam.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe stone fruit and citrus blossom, immediately followed by the floral and aromatic character of Solaris grapes—honeyed, slightly perfumed, with green herbal undertones. A subtle vinous quality threads through, speaking to the extended maceration on white grapes, while fine yeast complexity adds a whisper of bread crust and gentle funk without dominating.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy, concentrated fruit sweetness—peach, white nectarine, and Riesling-like green apple—balanced by a delicate tartness and fine acidity from the grape component. Mid-palate reveals a smooth, creamy mouthfeel with funky, wild yeast undertones that add intrigue without harshness. The finish is dry and crisp, with a gentle sour note lingering alongside the fruit, leaving the mouth refreshed and elegant.
