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.

Tap. Pepper, bay leaf, and very light malt aroma. Golden yellow with small head. Slightly sweet lemon-orange, light horseblanket, pepper and bay leaf flavor. Spectacular blending. Really didnβt know what to expect from this one - bay leaves and pepper? Not only was I pleasantly surprised, but I really loved this beer. Superb.
