Oude du Blé is a Chardonnay barrel-fermented and -aged expression of Saison du Blé, our Missouri Wheat Saison. Our mixed fermentation of local microflora and a classic yeast strain with extended aging in French Oak produced an exceptional Saison with deep layers of complexity and soft, rounded oak nuances. This farmhouse ale was aged for more than a year before its release.

Taster from 0,75l bottle in Sint-Truiden. Yellow hazy color, small white head. Smells funky, earthy, light peaches, stone fruits. Nice to very nice smell. Full body, soft carbonation. Tastes stone fruits, hay, grassy, peaches. Finishes lightly dry and light to lightly sour with notes of stone fruits, earthy and grassy notes. Very nice one, very mellow, not your typical side project sour

Pours hazy blonde, almost white head. Scent is buttery, acidic, fine, american style, yet very refined, SA. Taste is full, funky, very oaky. Buttery, fairly intense and complex, all whilst being particularly refined. Great work !

750ml bottle. Tart, slightly funky and sour with some vinous oaky notes, fruits and hints of yeastiness. Pretty refreshing and nicely balanced

2018 Version. Pours unclear blonde, small white head. Scent is funky, less refined than the Oude Fermier I had besides this one. Mild oak, mild wine. Taste is full, tart, malty, pronounced oak, less wine forward than the fermier. More pronounces tartness. Lovely, but remains deep in the shadows of Oude Fermier.

Bottle. Pours clear pale golden, small fizzy white head, hints of lacing. Aroma is bugs, lemon, oak, hints of stone fruit, tannin, basement, mineral water. Flavor is light plus tart, light funk, bright, lemony, clean. Light body, sporty carbonation. Quite lovely.

I'm torn cause I want this as easily available as 3F gueuze but I also want the fancy wax and the golden glow it gives off when you take it out of the fridge. Damn fantastic saison, side project yeast profile at its peak.
