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, courtesy of Jow (many thanks!). Pours deep golden with a nice head. Aroma of brett, cheese, orange zest, yeasts, floral notes, amazing. Flavour is rich and balanced, medium sweet with a decent bitter end. Medium body, medium carbonation. Good stuff!

Courtesy of Jow, shared with friends at Johnny Off L. store in Rome-Italy. Pours orange cloudy, tick white cap. Nose: juicy sweet fruit, brett, zest. Mouth: medium carbonation, a bit too citric (more aging would have helped), fruity. Nice. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

750 ml bottle, vintage 2013, probably from Vinmonopolet. ABV is 8.5%.Pale golden colour, only slightly hazy. Huge and lasting white head. Lovely aroma of saison yeast and brett, with fruity and peppery notes, hints of farmhouse. Medium sweet but still quite crisp flavour with peppery notes, distinct bittering hops.

The beer pours a slightly cloudy bright yellow-orange color with a medium thick and creamy white head that diminishes slowly. Sticky rings of lacing. Aroma of citrus, yeast and herbs. Medium body with a partly funky character of semi-sour fruit, yeast, grassy hops and spices. Surprisingly no pine tar. The finish is tart and fruity with a lingering farmhouse funk left behind. Enjoyable all around.

Bottle shared by the "King of Anchorage" at tasting in Jun ’15: Poured a jello yellow orange with a fluffy white head. Aroma is peppery and dirty funk. Taste was nice fruit and peppery funk.
