Saison du Fermier is the harmony of new and old. It is robust and has the paler color of modern Saisons, yet it is balanced with the brightness, depth, and rustic character of the wild microflora found on our family's Missouri farm. This limited expression of Saison du Fermier was fermented in and aged in Pinot Noir puncheons for 8 months before being naturally conditioned in the bottle. [Released 7/13/2016]

750mL bottle, Blend #6, drunk 6/3/23. Clear, copper-tinger golden. Plentiful carbonation creating an off-white head that sits at cover. Nose is quite prominent pinot noir with a good chalkiness underneath a brighter, but deep grape acidity. Wood tannin comes through with plentiful white bread and honey-like malt. Light brett and light lacto with more juicy wine and no alcohol or flaw on the end. Quite restrained for SP's saisons, which can be quite sour. Wow, this is incredibly light-bodied, though not thin. More pinot noir, soft chalk and light malt with a touch of honey and light acidity. Some brett, some lacto but mostly grape acidity, surprisingly. I'd actually like a little less, though I wouldn't call it overdone. Otherwise, clean and has no crude yeast esters/phenols.

Bottle shared by Tom, thanks! Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has dry white wine with a good amount of tart berry and straw underlying. Flavor has dry berries and white wine supported by grass and straw.

Sample from bottle (Blend #2) at Hoof Hearted during the Party At The Gutt's vs. Quit Yer Fussin' - Dual Can Release event on 03/17/2019. Clear golden color with a medium white head that burns away steadily to a wispy film. Stringy lacing. Aroma of tart fruit, funky yeast and malt. Medium body with flavors of tart and funky stone fruits, oak, herbal yeast and doughy malt. The finish is vinous oak and tart fruit. Good beer overall.

Thnx to Bart. Pours rather clear blonde, small white head. Smell is full, dry, tart, mild fruity ( apple-like, but not acetaldehyde ) , quite nice. Taste is tart, dry, fruity, full, medium body, rather high carbo. Rather sharp. Fruityness provided by the barrel, reminds a bit of apples, in a way.
