This is what I have decided to call my beer/wine blend. The Maginot line was a series of fortifications erected by France on their shared border with Germany after WWI. The idea was that the line would protect France from another invasion. Well, WWII rolled around and after a brief siege, Germany invaded Belgium and from there headed south into France, completely outflanking all of France's protection. This went down in history as one of France's greatest military blunders.
This beer pours a slighty hazy golden color. Ample, streaming carbonation, but no head. Brett is definitely apparent in the aroma- tropical fruit, nuts, hay, a little barnyardy.
The beer definitely tastes more 'beery' than it smells, by which I mean more like a beer brewed with a captive yeast strain. A nice nuttiness and hay continue into the flavor, with nice carbonation and mouth feel. I am not sure how much the wine really adds, but I am sure if you had some without to taste against this, you would notice the difference.
All in all, I would say I am happy with the results, and it is an experiment worth repeating.
