The first edition in our Lineage series of farmhouse ales features local wheat from Valley Malt in Hadley, Massachusetts. Bright, clear, and straw-yellow in appearance, Lineage Wheat invites with a complex nose of grassy funk, crisp citrus rind, pepper, and floral white wine. Starting mildy tart, yet not sour, this approachable saison follows through with flavors of earth, musky funk, woody-oak, light wheat, and some balancing, tangy, citrus character. Lineage Wheat is beautifully light in body and dry on the palate.

Pours a mostly clear medium gold color with a huge bubbly white head that persists.Lemony tart nose with bits of tartness and hint of funk. Earthy musty tart flavor with a dry quick finish with lingering light chalk on gums. Faint oakiness. Really tasty.

11.2 oz. bottle, pours a lightly hazed golden with medium-heavy white head. Aroma is full of deep oak, rustic saison yeast, and deep bugginess. Flavour is likewise full of extremely deep oak, wonderful bugginess, some rustic notes, and dry wheatiness. Oaky, buggy, dry finish. Excellent.

Top 50 (#44) Worldwide for the style. 33cl bottle from Libby’s Liquors. Honey gold pour. Large pillowy white crown. Nice lacing. Barnyard aromas of fresh hay and mild oak. First sip is tangy and yeasty funk. Soft wheaty palate. Zesty carbonation. Mild oakiness. Tangy, peppery notes on backed. Very approachable for the style.

truly awesome sour beer aroma, very well balanced, notes of wood, leather, sour beer, at level with the best belgians reg. aroma. flavor is a bit less interesting, sour beer alright, but quite some sweet malts in there, as well as a lot of woody notes - problem is - the woody notes sort of doesn't work well with so much sweetness. Almost tastes like a sweetened sour belgian. They say wild saison so it could be defended that the beer tastes a bit sweet grassy, sweet herbal and saison'ish rather than more crazy sour american sour'ish. The bottle behaved perfectly, no gushing or anything, so good craftmanship in that regard. Stamped 04/13/18 probably MDY so april 13th 2018. tasted mar.31.2024 The beer has kept well in the 6 years it's been in the bottle, no bad signs of aging at all.

Draft in Canton. Cloudy golden straw appearance. Aroma shows me Peach, oak, yeast. Flavor has a wheaty base with the oak never getting astringent or the vinegar that I hate in sour ales. Some subtle citrus rinds and mild funk. The mouthfeel is nice without an overly sour or tart finish. Honestly, for a American sour ale this is really nice.
