Dry-Hopped Farmhouse Ale with Brettanomyces (Smokestack Series)
Saison Brett, based on our very popular Tank 7, is assertively dry-hopped, then bottle conditioned with various yeasts, including Brettanomyces, a wild strain that imparts a distinctive earthy quality. Though this farmhouse ale was given three months of bottle age prior to release, further cellaring will continue to enhance the “Brett” character, if that's what you're after.

Flaska från SB. Ser ut och beter sig som Champagne i glasen. Väldigt lyckad klassisk saison med en extra brettdimension. Syrlig, örtig, jordig, citrusfräschör med lime och citron och lätt citrusbeska, färskt trä och lätt stallkaraktär. Fantstiskt god.

Flaske på RB samling hjemme (takk til Odd Gunnar): en krevende kveld, og denne kommer ut i toppskit\ktet. Suverent skum, leken og elegant smak. Jeg er så glad for at jeg fikk ganen opp for surøl og liknende stilarter. MUnnfylde og smaksrikdom par excellence.

Bottle at SBWF 2013. Pours hazy golden. Nice balance between citrusy hops and brett tartness.

From a 75 cl bottle shared at home. Pours a murky dark gold with a massive off white head. Intense floral aroma. Flavors of gardenias, lotus flowers, white pepper, and just a hint of brett. Tasty

03.10.2013, 0,75l bottle @ home:
Big slightly bubbly longlasting head. Aroma is fresh fruity, mild brett, citrus, light malts, citrus peel, hay, leafs, hints of dried fruits. Taste is slightly dry and bretty, citrus peel, brett, citrus, hay, grass, tropical fruits, leafs, hints of soil. Medium to longlasting bitterness, slightly dry mouthfeel. Nice enough, but this isn’t even close to as fantastic as I hear people say it is.

2011 vintage, bottle #10000. Aroma is fairly fruity with quite a bit of pear and some lighter red apple esters. Faint yeast character and light citrus. Brett character has slight cherry pie note and faint barnyard character but it is definitely a more earthy strain. Pours a dull, cloudy orange with a big pillowy white wad that has fairly good retention. Head slowly recedes leaving behind moderate lacing and faint legs. Flavor has a moderate fruitiness to it with some pear and citrus along with hints of cherry pie. A light stale malt character with some honey notes. Low herbal hop character with medium bitterness. Low barnyard funk with a similar earthy Brett character. Medium light phenolic character with a nice pepper note. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium to medium high carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall an alright beer, but the age may have hurt this one. I remember this beer being brighter when fresh and was dismayed to see that the malt character had turned a bit stale. I also wish that the Brett was fruitier as the hops provide a dank character already. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
