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.

Sample of 2012 and 2014 at Ale Alpharetta. Thanks Drew and Deb! Pours a hazy, light gold, wtih a big bubbly head. The aroma is butterscotch, mango, pineapple, and some light minerals. Sweet, with just a touch of funk and sourness. High carbonation, very bubbly, and acidic. Overall, this is an excellent, mellow, and tart beer.

Tasting at Matt’s
Hazy blond color, well carbonated. Nice aroma, pungent Brett, a bit fruity. Very dry, very carbonated, spicy but also with lingering fruitiness.
A lot of character here.

Draft pour. Pours golden with a nice slightly tart, spicy aroma. What an incredible beer this is. So much flavor here. Sweet floral flavor with a nice mild, spice finish. Loved it.

0.75l corked bottle. It quite immediately forms a huge, fluffy and really lacing bright white near everlasting head on top of a mildly clouded, or more blurry perhaps golden body that's filled with lots of big unfiltered floaters. I just love that brett nose! There is something so special about it. It's lemony fresh and woody with nuances of sales and farm. Some grass and hay with hints of gooseberries. Quite elegant and definitely inviting! It's somewhat lively on the bubbles this and in the mouth it feels surprisingly thin and dare I say almost a bit thin and watery? It tastes nice, but not at all what I was hoping or expecting. Sad to say. That lovely brett touch is absolutely present here and it's almost a little cellarish as well. Almost like the cork has infused a little bit with the content and made it a bit to wood and cork oriented. It's almost a bit dusty and earthy in the mouth actually. Some green apples, fruity canned pineapple juices, sharp brett citrus fruits and a little bit of yeast is also found. By all means it's a nice one and it actually just gets better and better the further down the bottle you get, but I guess my expectations were just a little bit to high on this. 16.01.2014

Gulbrun med noe segmenter, hvitt skum. Frukteddik, animalsk og humlelukt. Skuffende smak ut fra lukt. Humlebitter smak med søtlige stenfrukter. Litt lite kullsyre.

Gulorange farge med hvit luftig skum. Lukter humle og noe fruktig. Noe tam i smak, samtidig litt champagne feeling. ikke så bitter men noe fruktsødme i ettersmak.
