Description

History / Side Notes
For this first trial version, Pierre ordered the syrup later than expected in the season and got late harvest syrup, darker but also "less pure" than other grades (meaning other non-sugar natural compounds can be present). He later switched to more delicate syrup harvested earlier for the first official release sold to-go, but the taste being less pronounced, he switched back to darker late harvest syrup.
Fermentation to get all the sugar from the syrup to be fermented was about 6 months, and additional syrup was added for refermentation in the bottle.
Limited to 36 bottles and served only at the tap room of the blendery.
