Pils vieillie en fûts de Chardonnay.

Now something odd: a barrel aged Czech style Pilsner. The aging has taken place in Chardonnay white wine barrels for the period of three months. I don't think I have ever had a barrel aged Pilsner before. The label says this is 2023 vintage. The can releases semiclear, pale gold beer. Carbonation is somewhat playful and lets out a cloud-white froth that exceeds two fingers in height. The long retention is anxious to witness a billowy lacing decorating the surface for much longer. Downpouring traces cling onto the glass, too. My nose picks first gooseberry. Intensive grainy malt like malt flour, white wine barrel, untoasted toast and a note of grass follow right on its footsteps. Green grape is less pronounced but identifiable. Very interesting!! Weird but certainly something that hasn't crossed my path lately, if ever.  💛💛 The taste is clearly a medley of components that don't tango frictionlessly together. The chord is the a dissonance to some extent but, therefore, very artistic and out of the box. The flavors include grainy malt, oak barrel, wine yeast, gooseberry leaf and root, dry white wine and a whisper of toast. What on Earth is this?? Somewhat tangy but I turn a blind eye to such discrepancies and get thrilled by the uniqueness of the beer. Absolutely divisive. I just happen to like such perverted beers that I should be locked up. For good. Insane.  💛💛💛 The body is light. The finish is tangy, woody grainy and bitter barrel aged. This is a genuine weirdo. The aftertaste for real, big knots, Balmain's, it is the thing, this Louie, it kills, bang. The mouthfeel is light, heavily barrel aged, woody and tangy. Vinousness is moderate. Divisive. Complex. Innovative big time. A real nutcase. Who the hell gets in his/her mind to barrel age a Pilsner?? Either a loony or a genius. If Elon Musk was a Pilsner, it would be this one. I have to have a few more Third Moon beers to see if this is one of a kind or a general pattern.
