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.

Bottle. Pours light hazy golden, with a huge creamy head. Amazing crisp aroma of citrus peel, spices, oak and white wine barrels, with nice whiffs of flowers and clove. Full body with average carbonation. Flavour has a nice tartness with fruity yeast and brett, as well as a balanced bitterness from the hops. A mellow, yet lingering tart and astringent finish makes this a fabulous, easy drinking pleasure! Orval’s hoppy American cousin.

Flaska från SB. Guldgul vätska med kraftigt högt skum. Dofter av stall, vått läder. Fräsh smak med inslag av citrus och örter. Eldig munkänsla. Medellång eftersmak.

Only marks off for slightly oversweet finish that combats the yeast sourness instead of melds with it, but only very slightly. Wish I was having this on a hot day in August rather than now, but still extremely enjoyable.

Bottle at home. Pours a hazy orange colour with a big, soapy and off-white head. Sour aroma with apple, gooseberries, citrus, wet hay and a little barnyard. The flavour has more citrus and a nice peppery finish. Has a slick and soft mouth feel, and a medium, lasting bitterness. A fresh and balanced sour sasion with a nice bitter touch.

750 ml bottle. Unclear orange body with a big, foamy white head. Aroma is fruity and spicy with a nice farmhouse/Brett touch. Really refreshing in flavor, mild malt, acidic fruit, citric fruit and Belgium yeast. Quite light but totally harmonized in body with a long lasting, refreshing aftertaste. Reminds me a bit of Orval at its best.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel. Thanks kerenmk. Hazy golden-orange with a huge white head. Great bretty aroma with barnyard, flowers, olives and zesty fruitiness. Slightly sweetish flavor, bretty, spicy, earthy, with light sour notes, a bit of barnyard, flowers, some fruits and a dry finish, a bit spicy and a bit alcoholic. Medium-bodied, lively carbonation. Very good.

Smak och doft av brett, citron, apelsin, citrus, humle, äpple. Torr, fruktig, syrlig, fruktig en aning träig och örtig med en god beska med toner av grapefrukt. Fantastiskt gott.
