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.

750ml bottle from Oslo, at home shared with the BEAST, 10th March 18. Pours straw coloured beer with a slight haze, big fluffy white head. Aroma is Brett, lemon and malt. Taste is well balanced, good dose of Brett, but not over the top, malt, citrus, farmyard, honey. Really nice and drinks below the ABV.

Shared bottle at Cardinal, Stavanger. Pours hazy golden with white head. Aroma of lemon, horse stable, effervescent powder, apples, medicine, metallic. Tastes sweet with some bitterness. Dry mouth feel, highly carbonated.

2016 bottle, just expired. My 200th saison on RateBeer. If this is, or any of them are. Big pop. Clear gold with a large white head that collapses to fat coat. Aroma funky crackery dough, nectarines, old citrus. Fullish bodied, high carbonation. Some toast, lots of stone fruit, some honey, bracken, spices. There's a mellowness to the toast and stone fruit and a coiled character to the spices and bracken that impose at the bitter end. Quite sweet but dries out with gripping Brett, still firm bitterness and little booze. A bit too strong really but there's plenty going on and a fair bit of finesse with it.

Bottle. Slight hazy golden color, big frothy head. Aroma of some grainy malt, slight funky and bubblegummy brett, slight flowery hop. Soft bitterness, some bubblegummy sweetness. Good carbonation. Well balanced, good beer.

Flaska från 2013, bäst före passerat med nästan tre år (bf 2015-02). Liten gusher. Kanske inte förvånande med brett som stått länge. Mörk gulgrumlig vätska med högt vitt skum som håller i sig. Väldigt mycket brett både i doft o smak. Även apelsinskal, gröna druvor, vitvin, nejlika, muskot, kanel och kryddiga inslag. Blivit lite ”mellowed”, men bretten sticker fortfarande lite och skapar lite skärpa. Är egentligen inte särskilt svag för brett i det här formatet, så slår inte jättehögt för mig. Men håller fortfarande ihop snyggt. Tror inte det skulle bli bättre av att stå längre iaf, och skulle säkert för egen del gillat den något färskare.

Pours a hazy golden colour from the 750ml bottle, giving a head that lasts forever because of the very active carbonation. Lacing is foamy, patchy all-around. Brett funk aromas with the earthiness. Eventually, citrus notes come out. The grapefruit show a little more in the taste, giving the Saison edge. Funky earthy notes are always in the background. Some decent dryness in the finish. Well done, but I like my Saison not funky. Merci.

Good, but I was hoping for more. Anyway, golden color, foaming head. Nose is light, with pepper and other indistinct spice, some bretty funk, grassy. Flavor similar, a little hayloft funk, seemed sweetish at first but turned very dry, moderate bitterness. Subdued.

Nice earthy Brett nose with grain and faint honey. Sweet and dry with good funk, some herbal, wildflower. Elegant. Abv hidden well.
