Sour Saison Aged in Traminette & Marsanne Orange Wine Barrels - This blend of barrels is a truly unique display of Michigan fruit and terroir. It starts with a saison brewed with Michigan grown malt and hops. We then aged it in two different Native Species orange wine barrels that used to contain MI grown Marsanne & Traminette.

Head gone in an eyeblink to fully clear transparant-golden beer, big bubbled. Very grapey, vinous nose, white wine, if sweet-fruity smelling. Sour-fruity, vinous, with a background of sweet white grapes. Sour peaches. Light body, light acidburn; feels better carbonated than it looks. Very nice beer indeed!

Bottle from Holiday Market. Pours a clearish honey gold with no head. Almost still looking. Oak, orange zest and and orange flesh on the nose. Some warming alcohol also noticeable. Tart, acidic lemon zest notes with with more bright Sunkist orange flavors. Slight grainy wheat texture on the palate with lingering orange, tart lemon and honey on the finish.
