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 microflora found on our family's Missouri farm. This limited expression of Saison du Fermier was fermented in and aged in Pinot Noir puncheons for 8 months before being naturally conditioned in the bottle.

Tap at Hopleaf. Vinous, but not overboard. Rustic funky aroma
Great mouthfeel. Solid.

750ml bottle. Bright, deep, golden orange with lace. Nose is wine, leather, grapefruit, vanilla. Creamy and funky, sour, withe leathery notes and grapefruit zest, apricot and peach, and a decent residual sweetness remaining. Very long finish. Fantastic.

Funky, tart and sourish with some vinous grapes, berries, oak and farmyardy notes. Pretty balanced and complex.

Taster from 0,75l bottle in Sint-Truiden. Yellow lightly hazy color, small white head. Smells spices, earthy, lime, grassy, tobacco. Very nice smell. Full body, soft carbonation. Tastes grassy, earthy, peppery, tobacco, bit vinous. Finishes dry and light to medium sour with notes of peppery, vinous and some minerality. Nice to very nice one, bit heavy

750mL bottle, Blend #6, drunk 6/3/23. Clear, copper-tinger golden. Plentiful carbonation creating an off-white head that sits at cover. Nose is quite prominent pinot noir with a good chalkiness underneath a brighter, but deep grape acidity. Wood tannin comes through with plentiful white bread and honey-like malt. Light brett and light lacto with more juicy wine and no alcohol or flaw on the end. Quite restrained for SP's saisons, which can be quite sour. Wow, this is incredibly light-bodied, though not thin. More pinot noir, soft chalk and light malt with a touch of honey and light acidity. Some brett, some lacto but mostly grape acidity, surprisingly. I'd actually like a little less, though I wouldn't call it overdone. Otherwise, clean and has no crude yeast esters/phenols.
