Our Brett Venture series is the exploration of how single strains of Brettanomyces ferment and condition a Saison malt bill. Each Brett Venture will be fermented in and aged in wine barrels with a different Brettanomyces strain to showcase its unique characteristics.

100% fermented with a brett strain from Cantillon, like Brett Project #1 (Brett Venture #1), but with lactobacillus added to the Chambourcin barrel, where it aged for six months. The result is similar to the lively characteristics of Brett Project #1, but with more acidity.

ABC Roxy Benefit: Poured a murky yellow with a white head. Aroma is woodsy, funky wine like fruit. Taste is super funky, tart, spicy, citrus fruit. Zesty finish on the tongue.

Bottle, 2013, thanks to BeernBourbon! Pours clear pale golden, medium white head, dissipates fairly quickly, decent lacing. Aroma is oak, Brett funk, clean brett, musty, dusty. Flavor is light tart, light plus funk, lots of clean brett with a juicy, fruity note, dry and clean, a bit dusty. Light body, soft palate. Refined and enjoyable.

Bottle thanks to Dustin. Pours a cloudy gold with small white head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is strong stone fruit, pineapple, funk, oak. Thin mouth, tart, brett, oak, pineapple, light dry finish, very nice.

Bottle shared by Peter at RBWG 2014, thanks! Pours a cloudy yellow with no head whatsoever. Aroma has light tart fruit note with earthy funk and just a bit of a light grain note. Flavor has a bit of a yogurt note with fruit and a bit of a tart bite towards the finish.

Bottle shared late night RBWG. Pours hazy yellow with a creamy white head. Good stuff, quite crisp, some tangy lemon, sweet pale dough. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly drying to finish, subtle lactic twang, more lemon tartness. Nice.
