Costa dei Villa is a hoppy session saison that was brewed in collaboration with our friend Costa from La Sirène. These self-proclaimed ‘Farmhouse Free Stylers’ from the Land Down Under are creating amazing Farmhouse beers with finesse, texture, and above all crisp drinkability.
This hoppy session saison was brewed with four different hop varieties giving aromas of citrus, kumquat, and soft wheat. Costa dei Villa is extremely quaffable, with a light tart body, and mild bitterness. Refreshing notes of grapefruit pith, a touch of Meyer lemon, and Jolly funk. The perfect beer for gathering the cobbers and sparking up the barbie!
Come to my world mate!
I’m going to finish my degree in marine biology and we’re moving to Australia
I told my wife to be
Well, that didn’t happen, I ended up a brewer
But not quite one of total ill repute.
One Sunday in May Costa showed up at my brewery
Later, we brewed a beer together
Come to my world, mate, says he
We haven’t quite yet
But we will.
Cheers & Mahalo plenty!

On tap @ Ghetto Something. Aroma is vinous, musty, citrusy, funky and grassy. Pours cloudy straw color with rocky white head, good lacing and soft visible carbonation. Taste starts light sweet and sour bready, following is vinous, acetic, funky, herbal and peppery, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is moderate grassy bitter. Light to medium body, slick texture and soft carbonation in palate. Hops and funk seasoned saison...

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a nice oaky funk with some light citrus, a bit of flora and some light grains underlying. Flavor has grass and citrus rind with a nice funk, oak and a bit of earthy grain supporting.

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Hazy golden, mid sized head. Tart nose with brett, hay and minerals. Tart with light-medium body and crisp, rounded mouthfeel. Minerally with hay and lemon. Low bitterness. Relaxed, complex and excellent.

On tap and in a growler from JP Chicago. Thick, yellow-tan body. Foamy white head. Hoppy, bitter, dry, bright. Lemon tones, Some mellow Jolly Pumpkin funk. Not really hitting a traditional Saison, or new school Grisestte feel either, something different. Medium bodied, very drinkable. Lots of grassy, dry hop...not really so much dimension in that regard as much as mouth texture. India Pale Grisette?

Bottle. Just hazy straw yellow with white head. Soft citrus - Meyer lemon, kumquats - mild wheaty funk. Summery. Light creamy texture with hints of minerals. Citrus that's floral and slightly sour, mild funk and simple cracker notes underneath. Fairly dry with enough bitterness to make a finish. Deeply refreshing.
