A farmhouse ale brewed for Gene Bonventre’s 10,000th RateBeer rating! Crisp, dry and subtly nuanced, offering an aromatic array of lemon zest, cracked pepper, white grapefruit and earthy funk; crafted in collaboration with our friends Terry Hawbaker & Kristen Mullen (Intangible Ales), as well as with our good buddy Gene himself. Brewed with rye & oats, hopped with Citra, Aramis & Chinook, soured with lactobacillus and fermented exclusively with Brettanomyces Bruxellensis Drei for six months in tank.

Bottle @ ZZT X shared by bierkoning. Lightly unclear golden color, virtually no head. Aroma is sweetish, quite fruity, a hint of red fruit. Tastes about the same: quite fruity, sweetish and sourish, but very balanced. I really like the flavor actually. Nice one!

Many congrats to Travlr on this series of beers! 4oz pour at the brewery pours a hazy pineapple gold with a ring of white head. Nose is vinous, grapefruit pith, dried lemon peel, white grape, a little pepper, a little grassy, mildly cheesy too. Flavor follows along, quite a bit of citrus and juice, lemon and a little unripened orange, grassy, straw, some wood pulp, only light pepper here, some floral tea, perhaps a touch lactic. Finishes well balanced and mostly clean.
