Provisional saison, Artisan ale aged in oak barrels
In a particular region of southern Belgium, the reserve or provision saison was called surette, meaning tart. Using time-honored techniques, our saisons employ old-world methods to restore complexity and the classical rustic character lost in modern day saison. Brewed with local Colorado floor malted barley, traditional harvest grains, and noble hops, Surette embodies old-world saison brewing traditions. Each batch of Surette is an expression of the large oak foeders it matures in while taking on an aged vinous quality and a complex tartness. Showcasing citrusy ripe fruits, a light zesty spice, and earthy undertones, Surette’s character exemplifies our mixed culture of Brettanomyces and souring bacteria.

Bottle from Bierkoning, Amsterdam. Aroma is fruity with citrus, bretty funk, orange, apricot, spicy yeast, some oak and grainy malt. Flavour is tart and sweetish, light sour. Body is medium. Nicely tart and fruity, bit sweetish and funky. Very drinkable, lovely Saison!

Bottle. Pours a light hazy orange with a medium white head. Aromas of sweet esters, oaky sweet notes, citrussy, lemon zesty, some sweet green grapes, light moldy. Taste is tarter- citrussy, lemon zest, orange peel, some stone fruits, oaky sweetness, light saison yeast, once again a sweet vinous note in the back. Reminds me of a dessert wine mixed with a tart saison. Darn nice!

(Bottle) Pale amber colour, hazy, with frothy off-white head. Fruity, sourish nose with notes of citrus, grapefruit, sour grapes, oak wood and funky yeast. Fruity, tart taste with citrus, grapefruit, sour grapes, barnyard, cellar, oak wood, funky yeast and a fresh acidity in the finish. Medium body, dry. Fresh, tasty and well balanced with a harmonious acidity. Excellent.
