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.

Sample at RateBeer best 2015. Pours hazy golden orange, small off-white head with good lacing. Aroma is oaky, floral, stonefruit and brett, plus a mineraly note. Flavor is light plus tart, lightly funky, fairly minerally, reminiscent of HF. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Grate.

Draught @ CBC2015. Pours hazy vibrant deel yellow with a big frothy white head that slowly dissipates while leaving some thick lacing on the glass. Smell is fruity and funky with crackers, lemonade, white grapes, hay, dry soil, minerals, barnyard and lemon zest. Taste is sour, fruity and slightly funky. Mouthfeel is sparkling, dry, tart and light to medium bodied. Finish is sour with crackers, lemon juice, lime juice, white grapes, hay, dry soil, minerals, barnyard and lemon zest. Good stuff but much of the complex funk is hidden behind heavy citric acidity.

Bottle share @ Cycle, St. Pete, thanks Glen. Dorée sur un léger trouble, col épais blanc. Arôme au bouquet distinct de brett, rétro fruité avec de belles notes de vin blanc et fin épicé du boisé. Palais offre un léger profil aigre-brett, fizzy carb, fruité sur la fin avec un côté barrique de vin Chardonnay, rustique sans vraiment tomber sans le style belge avec une fin légèrement citrique Reste cependant grandement influencé par le côte farmhouse américain.
