Resurrection

Tap to rate

Robust notes of dark red fruit, figs and dried fruit, in taste closer to a Marsala-type wine than to beer: Resurrection is a still beer without carbonation, inspired by Tokaj Aszú. Grapes hung on wires for four months are gently crushed into the blend, and in the barrels oxidative tones develop, made possible by over 15 % alcohol and residual sugar, which only this beer keeps. A new batch appears every year.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Resurrection

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to light copper hue, transparent and still, with no carbonation or head formation. The wine-like clarity and absence of bubbles underscore its oxidative maturation in barrel, presenting as a contemplative rather than effervescent pour.

◌ Aroma

Dried fig, dark plum, and oxidative stone fruit dominate the nose, with undertones reminiscent of Tokaj and fortified wine. Subtle funkiness emerges beneath the fruit, hinting at the wild yeast fermentation and extended barrel aging that shaped this blend.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and sweet, with concentrated notes of dark red fruit and preserved fig that evolve into tart and slightly funky mid-palate complexity. The high residual sugar balances a delicate sour edge and minimal hop bitterness (10 IBU), creating a palate closer to Marsala than traditional beer, finishing with a gentle drying quality that prevents cloying.
