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.

Taster at Bavarian Lodge. Not one of those "all-brett" beers I’ve heard of, but uses the funk well. Cloudy yellow beer, almost white, or rather, wit-ish. This head. Smell has tart fruits like cherries, some coriander and a hint of strawberry. Taste is a little less tart than the nose, but fuller with fruit flavor. Raspberry along with the cherry and strawberry. Some wheat malt peeks in, too. Great bright taste.

Bottle from my friend Jim. Pours light straw colored with fluffy white head. Nice nose of funk and tropical fruits. tastes quite spicy of white pepper and cloves, funky yeats, earth, citrus, mango, hay, earth and floral. Its dry and very easy drinking and hides the alcohol well. delicious

Bottle 05911: Prominent funk nose with lemon also present, nicely balanced. Cloudy golden, thick head, full of silt. Funk and citrus, even mix. Full of flavor an intensity, but very drinkable. Delightful.

Pours gold into a tulip. Bright white head with excellent retention craters and recedes leaving spider lacing. Sweet marshmallow, band aid and funk aromas. Sweet band aids and funk from front to back turning slightly sour in the lasting finish...should’ve aged it a bit more...

From Tennesseejed420, with many, many thanks: Pours a blonde colour with a nice saisonish type head. However, before I noticed how this beer looked, I also noticed how the cork smelled: earthy, funky, almost dirty, tasty, tangy, and a few other adjectives if you care to listen. The aroma of this beer is truly unique. It has a weird earthiness that is hard to describe. The saison funk is all about this jawn, but there is a weird layer on top of that that gives it a strange new character. Weird what bacteria can do to a beer (btw since I was a kid my father always told me that bacteria is not bad because you need it for beer... he didn’t know about the brett). Anyway, the taste has a modicum of sweetness. A nice dryish mouthfeel and more earth and dirt and all that fancy stuff than you can imagine. When I opened this I thought I would get a funky saison, instead I got a weirdly unique monster of a beer. This be dank. Better than the already awesome Tank 7.

Greg brought this one to the September 3R6P gathering. Sampled from a 750 ml brown bottle this beer poured a hazy golden amber color with a huge foamy white head that lingered and left some lacing. The aroma was tart vague citrus and very strong spicy brett. The flavor was very bretty and dry with a musty undertone and notes of lemon, apricot and pepper. The finish was long, dry and bretty with some vague fruits underneath. Very heavily carbonated and medium body.

750mL bottle, split with Matts_Property, pours a cloudy golden orange with a big white head. Aroma of complex yeasts, including brett, big barnyard funk, orange zest, citrus and pronounced dry hops. Flavour is very complex, with tons of spices, lots of yeast, big barnyard funkiness, with more secondary flavours of orange and lemon rind, considerable dry hoppiness and some citrus. Spicy finish. Very high carbonation. I shouldn't have split this as it never gets tiring - I could've drank several bottles of these to myself and still crave more. The best saison I've ever had - just amazing.
