Triptych #2 is the original oat pilsner brewed in collaboration with Le Trou du Diable, a brewery from Quebec, Canada. We use the same floor-malted barley, golden naked oats and French hops as Triptych #1, but we barrel age it for over 100 days in sauvignon blanc barrels with added maple syrup and Champagne yeast.

500ml swing top bottle. Yellowy golden colour, white foam head leaving lacing and aroma of grain, fruity funk, grassy. Taste is malt & grains, barnyard funk, citric rind, grapey fruit, with grassy metallic bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry funky grassy bitter finish. Nicely drinkable

Almost clear gold beer, decent pale cream colour head. Fluffy palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation but not as crispy as you might expect. Light malts bring a light sweetness. Good white wine brightness with a little champagne bite. Nice! Some light citric fruits coming through on the back end. The maple is not at all obvious but seems to be doing enough to round off the potential champagne yeast bitterness. Very drinkable. Reminds me of those heady days when we would quaff lager all night and then finish off by topping off the pints with champagne. But this tastes much better than that!

Bottle ordered from the brewery. Funky aroma with a vinous edge. Honey sweetness then comes through. Copper gold. Slightly hazy. It's lively - big bubbly head settles down to creamy foam. Light-medium bitter, with spice to it. Develops a vinous sour edge, which is dry. Underlying sweetness from the maple is more evident into the finish. Light bodied. Thin if slick. Benefits from soft carbonation. Dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice enough but I think I preferred the original - sometimes simpler is best. Possibly because the maple adds the sweetness I'd associate with a lager and which was not included with the original.

Swing top bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Soft haze on an orange gold. Thin white head is fully lacing, and lasting. Nose has a load of the wine barrel. Hint of maple. Creamy malts. Some citrus hop (or is it the white grape?). Some woody notes. Has an air of lambic about it, actually. Taste has a tart, woody, grape like sharpness. A little dry. Clean and bright mouthfeel. Foamy carbonation. Touch of bitterness comes through on the finish, maintaining that woody lambic vibe throughout. Interesting beer, and very enjoyable.
