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.

Bottled. Hazy orange colour with a small off-white long-lasting head. Aroma is citrus, tropical fruits, some wood, mild funk. Flavour is dry wooden, some citrus, earth, herbs, grass and mild floral notes. Mouthdrying palate, but at the same time refreshing. Easy to drink.

750 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 1/22/2016. Pours lightly hazy bright golden yellow color with a 2-3 finger dense and rocky white head with insane retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts the whole glass. Dense soapy lacing clings around the glass, with plenty of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Insane appearance. Aromas of big pineapple, peach, pear, lemon zest, orange zest, apple, hay, straw, floral, grass, peppercorn, clove, wheat, bread, light honey, musty funk, light leather, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Fantastic aromas with great balance and complexity of bright citrus/tropical hops, fruity/spicy/funky yeast, and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big pineapple, peach, pear, lemon zest, orange zest, apple, peppercorn, clove, hay, straw, floral, grass, wheat, bread, light honey, musty funk, light leather, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Big peppery/spicy yeast and light herbal/floral hop bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of pineapple, citrus peel, pepper, clove, wheat, bread, hay, straw, grass, musty funk, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of bright citrus/tropical hops, fruity/spicy/funky yeast, and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/spicy yeast balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Very high carbonation and medium bodied; with a very smooth, crisp, dry, prickly/foamy, and lightly creamy/grainy balanced mouthfeel that is awesome. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a world class Brett saison! All around amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of bright citrus/tropical hops, fruity/spicy/funky yeast, and moderate pale malt flavors; super smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink for the ABV. An extremely delicious offering.

Aroma is Citrus yeast in space. Flavor pretty much follows the name of the beer because it’s a saison defined and Modified by Brett.

750ml bottle. (2015 release) Pours a cloudy orange with some sediment floating around and a huge, frothy, long lasting, white head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet, fruity aroma of lemon, wheat malt and light brettanomyces. Sweet fruity flavour of lemon, wheat malt, spicy yeast and alcohol with a dry, bitter, slightly tart finish. Medium body with a smooth, oily texture and lively carbonation. Well balanced. An excellent saison.

Clear pale golden appearance. Strong aroma of Brett and bready yeast. Strangely dry and boozy. It’s really bone dry with a lasting bitterness.

16/V/16 - sample @ Leuven Innovation - BB: n/a (2016-566) Thanks to the Belgian RB crew for sharing today's beers!

Hazy blond beer, big creamy white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a bit of lacing in the glass. Aroma: very soapy, floral, bit funky, more soap. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: floral, bit soapy, spicy touch, somewhat bitter, coriander. Aftertaste: rather bitter, dry, more soapy, bit floral. Not a fan of all that soap. Probably the mix of brett and hops?
