This culinary delight is a rich farmhouse-style saison brewed with a generous helping of aromatic Turkish bay leaves and a dose of coarsely ground Tellicherry black peppercorns. The wild fermentation is finished off with cultured brettanomyces, which lend a noticeable sour note. As a collaboration between celebrated Louisville chef, Josh Lehman, and the brewers at Against the Grain, this beer highlights the interplay of cooking and brewing in a single glass. Complex, yet refreshing, this beer has a wild, perfumey aroma that prepares the palate for the tangy, yeasty flavor that mingles with spiciness from the spices as well as the phenols produced in fermentation.

Bottle, 75cl. Damn wax. An unclear, orange colored beer with a dense, off-white head. The aroma has lots of bay leaves, with some generic spiced notes and a nice fruityness. Some funky hints too, lemon and barnyard. It’s medium dry and ligtly tart, with flavors of oranges, resins and some spiced, herbal notes. Lasting bretty, spiced and orange finish. Easy drinkable, tasteful and moreish. 141231
