Saison du Fermier is the harmony of new and old. It is robust and has the paler color of modern saisons yet it is balanced with the brightness, depth and rustic character of the wild brettanomyces and lactobacillus found on our family's Missouri farm. This farmhouse ale was fermented and aged in wine barrels for several months.

(750ml Blend 2 bottle @ Nische's tasting, thanks Werckmeister!) Hazy bright gold pour with a solid white head. Aroma of mixed citrus, tart white grape, pit fruit esters, wet wood, hay, touch of wine and moderate funk. Flavour is moderately sweet and moderately tart. Smooth pit fruit esters, nectarines, touches of citrus, tart white wine, balanced oak, rounded and almost creamy. Lightly sulphurous funk. Long deep tart fruity aftertaste. Medium bodied and plush with soft carb. Really lovely elegant saison, complex and balance without the runaway acidity of some SP beers. Highly drinkable.

0,75l bottle at Nisches tasting shared by me. Blend No 2. dark yellow murky color, small white head. smells earthy, spices, citric, light dill, some wood, marzipan. very nice smell. full body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes of citrus, some funk, spices, peppery, some wood, earthy. finishes rather dry and lightly sour with notes of spices, light citrus and some earthy notes. great balance, very smooth but also great complexity, very elegant.

Keg at Beavertown Extravaganza 2017. It pours lightly hazy yellow - gold with a medium white head. The aroma is quite soft, bready, vinous, toasty grain, herbal, wood, grass, funk and lemon peel. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, lemon - lime, vinous, gooseberry, white grape, bright acidity, toasty sugars, vanilla, wood and funk with a smooth finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Perhaps lacks a bit of depth, but it is rather enjoyable nonetheless.
