In the analog age of music, artists recorded take after take, experimenting with new sounds until a great record emerged. Our Alternate Takes series offers a peek into our iterative & creative R&D process, where each batch is celebrated as its own off-centered hit.

Alternate Takes #4 is our funky farmhouse ale bursting with notes of juicy apricot, earthy sourness & balanced hints of vanilla & oak. It begins its life on French-Oak wine barrels where it is fermented with brettanomyces for 7 months before being blended with apricots & re-fermented with a Belgian Saison yeast.

Tap at J’s. Pours a clear gold with a small white head that lingers. Tart lemon, gooseberry and big oak-forward aromas. Lingonberry. Quite musty on the palate with a dry woody finish and some lingering tartness. Solid!
