Our series of New-England saisons continues with Lineage Rye, a wild ale featuring Valley Malt Danko Rye. This Polish origin, locally grown and malted rye provides a subtle and balancing malt backbone to compliment the complex characteristics derived from aging in oak barrels, fermentation with our native New England mixed culture and well-aged hops.
Lineage Rye is medium in body and pours a deep, yellow-golden hue with engaging aromatics of wet hay and mild earth, spice, tart lemon peel and white wine. Following the nose, flavors of tart pink grapefruit flesh, white table grapes, funky must from the aged hops take the lead. Following mid palate with soft oaky vanilla intertwine with a supplementing bready, rye depth. Satisfying, structured oak barrel finish with lively carbonation. Lineage Rye will continue to age nicely in the bottle with its nuanced flavors continually evolving over time.
STYLE: Wild Saison
ABV: 6.9%
HOPS: US Goldings, Aged Hops
MALT: Pilsner, Valley Danko Rye, Flaked Wheat

Bottle - Soured white grape and some funk. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Soured and funky with a bright finish. Weird and pleasant.

Hazy tan. Thin head. Lots of brett on the aroma, Malts are a bit bready, but bretty is a big thing, and some nice barrel accents. There's a nice bretty character, good complexity, and nice depth.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with rye, earthy notes, and wild yeast. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of rye, dank hops, oak and wild yeast. Very unusual - certainly some unique flavours here. I'm digging this.

750ml bottle (thx, Ale M.!) at Matt's. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is funky, fruity, barrel, and some creamy notes, pleasant. Taste is similar. Quite dry and highly carbonated. Good.

From Trillium Canton: pours clear gold with white head. Aroma is woody funk, berry fruitiness. Taste is moderately tart. Lots of tree. Fruity generally. Not much hints of the rye from my taste. Good level of complexity yet cery drinkable and pleasant.

Draft at Five Horses Tavern. Aroma of tannic oak, spicy rye, Bretty yeast. Flavor has lemon juice, a tart finish with a sourish oak. Texture is mildly tannic, decent for what this is. Has a sharp pucker in my taste glands after the sip. Sour Heads should enjoy this a great deal. Even I was able to finish the entire glass.

Draught at the Publick House, Trillium 2nd Anniv., 3/23/15
Messy pour is both quite hazy and has a rapidly receding off-white head. Body is copper-golden.
Varying notes of acetic acid dot the otherwise brett-like tartness in the nose, with plentiful fruitiness (cherries, berries, oranges) and light caramel notes. No alcohol, but lots of a strange vanillin-like note.
Much like their Valley saison series (which I guess this pretty much still is), the carbonation and body are off. It’s loose, watery and just dosent have enough tightness to keep everything together. Oak is buttery and a bit too forceful while the red wine seems at first interesting but taken with the acetic notes, seems to overpower the flimsy-ish body. Light caramel malts and a reasonable sour-profile, but too much butteriness which bogs down what should be a bright beer. No alcohol noted.

Bottle shared by deeblo, thanks Bruce! Golden colour, white head. Aroma is fruity, light tart, some spice. Flavour is acidic, tart, dry, lemon, light spicy, oak, tart finish. Light bodied. A bit too much for me in terms of sourness, still nice though.
