Two yeast strains were used to create this unique Belgian-style ale. The first, a Saison yeast, establishes the flavor foundations of a classic Belgian-style ale. The second, our house strain of Brettanomyces yeast, contributes myriad flavors including pear, apricot, graham cracker, and bread crust. A portion of Interlude is aged in red wine barrels, which imparts a distinctive vinous, plum character and a dry, almost tannic, finish.

Lovely brett beer, with just enough funk to add a musty complexity to the mild malt sweetness and the mildly tart vinous notes. Finishes with an oak-inspired bitterness mixed with vanilla and grape. Delicious.

2015 vintage on tap at Capone's. Pours a clear, bronze color, with a small, off-white head. The aroma is pear, lemon oils, cloves, Riesling, and brown sugar. Sweet and sugary, with a lovely, bright tartness. Light, smooth, and clean. Subtle and very well made.

2006 bottle. Orange color. oaky leathery grapefruit aroma, like a soft matured geuze. Horse blanket. Oaky, sour, leathery flavor with grapefruit, lemon, grapes. malty, alcohol in the background. A firm flowery hop character. Lots of character and complexity in this world class beer.
