Glen Rose — Lambic Style Ale

Wine Barrel Aged • Dark Fruit • Leather • Red Wine • Vanilla • Oak • 6.5% abv

Pleasantly sour with hints of dark fruit and leather. Golden in color, with notes of red wine, vanilla and oak from the freshly-emptied wine barrels.

We draw all of our water at Vista from the Trinity Aquifer, 450 feet below the surface. Glen Rose is just one of the formations that make up this aquifer, providing us with beautiful, mineral-rich water.

This farmhouse-style ale showcases Vista’s water and pays homage to the styles of the Senne Valley of Belgium. A blend of six cultures produces a mildly tart ale that will cellar well for years to come.

Shapeshifter — Little Saison

Wine Barrel Aged • Earthy • Mango • Coconut • White Pepper • 5.5% abv

Pours a hazy straw color with a thin head. The initial aroma is white grape, mango and coconut shell. As the beer warms, you’ll find biscuit, bread and earthy aromas come out.  The first sip gives a spritzy mouthfeel, slight acidity and a dry finish. You’ll discover flavors of mango, lychee, kiwi, white pepper and clove.

The beer has a great mouthfeel and slight acidity and is very dry. It tastes like a saison, a wit, and an earthy low abv farmhouse were all mixed together and made this beer. It is hard to classify, but it has many styles mixed into it. For me, it is a success from what we wanted to make to what it came out as.

Shine — Farmhouse Ale with Peaches

Wine Barrel Aged w/ Fruit • Dry • Young Peach • Light Body • 5.4% abv

This tart wild ale showcases the art of blending barrel aged and fresh beer. The barrel aged portion began with Texas grown pilsner malt, water from Vista’s aquifer-fed well, house-aged hops and Brettanomyces, set to age in a local wine barrel.

The freshly brewed ale also fermented with Brettanomyces and over 200 pounds of juicy peaches. Marrying the two together creates a delicate, tart and nuanced ale with subtle stone fruit aroma, pleasant tartness and flavors of peach cobbler and light tannins.

Pours with a faint haze and a snow-white head. Inviting, mellow spiciness and clean vanilla malty notes make way for appropriate pear and green fruit with honeysuckle-like floral aromas. Beware, the 9.5% abv is almost undetectable.
