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.

Pours pale, bit hazy. Head is massive and actually stays for quite a long and leaves beautiful lacings. Aroma is barnyard and earth, just a bit of horse blanket. Some autumn fruits under there as well. Taste is mildly sweet, funky bitterness coming out well. Really smooth overall, just perfect saison.

(Bottle) Golden colour with big, frothy, white head, leaving traces of lacing. Fruity, malty spicy nose with tropical fruit, mango, citrus, hay, grass, spicy hops and lots of earthy brett yeast aromas. Malty, fruity spicy taste with notes of bread, citrus, orange peel, lemon, grass, mango, passion-fruit, funky yeast and a finish with a generous spicy/grassy bitterness and earthy yeast flavours. Almost full body, with a touch of sweetness. The combination of the fresh grassy, spicy hops and the fresh bretty yeast character makes this on extremely enjoyable. And the balance is great. Excellent beer!

750ml bottle from Vinmonopolet Bestillingsutvalget. Shared with Stefan, Finn, Elisabeth and Stefan. Initial huge, rocky, white head, some of it remaining while leaving spotty lacing behind. Cloudy golden in body colour. Fresh fruity aroma of peach and dusty hops. Fruity flavors of peach and orange joined by minerals and a basement touch. Mild acidic ending. Foamy in the mouth. Refreshing and pleasing (Big bottle session, Tromsø 16.12.2015).

Bottle shared at sour tasting. Thanks Jon! Pours a neon yellow with a one-finger, pillowy white head. Banana cream pie on the nose with some stone fruit and light brett. Medium-light body with active carbonation. Great creamy mouthfeel that lasts throughout. Lots of things going on as it warms with the barnyard notes standing out as it warms. Nice, dry and fruit-forward finish. Wonderful.

Poured into a wine glass showing translucent neon yellow with a half a finger of lightly yellow foam. The nose shows a slight farmhous background with moderate notes of brett and orange. The palate is light bodied and highly carbonated. The flavors are extremely brett forward without any tartness; very similar to Orval. Light bitterness on the finish and a very light tartness throughout.

Frothy creamy white head. Big Brett and bananas and cream nose with pears in the background. Excellent carbonation, medium body, pears and tons of brett. So well integrated. Fantastic
