Ca' del Brado Anniversario

Anniversario hits you with this immediate citrus snap—like someone just cracked open a jar of preserved lemon. There's a wine-like dryness that builds across your palate without ever feeling harsh. The 7.4% sits in the background; you barely notice it because the acidity is doing all the heavy lifting. It's the kind of sour that makes you want another sip immediately.

Pignoletto Italian Grape Ale

Pignoletto tastes like someone made a conversation between a white wine and a pale ale, and the grape won. There's this soft, almost creamy mouthfeel that feels more generous than Anniversario—the fruit characters are up front, almost jammy in a good way. At 6.5% it feels lighter, more quaffable, like a beer that doesn't demand your full attention.
