We put a part of our saison 00 in a wooden barrel that held white wine before that. We let the microorganisms present in the wood do their job, and that resulted in a super dry beer if it already wasn't such. Some light sourness developed as well, joined by hints of wood and an unmistakable wine character. The soft carbonation of this beer keeps the tartness moderate, and enhances the wine like feel.

Bottle, 750 ml, courtesy of Kova. Cloudy golden, no head. Fruity, bit yeasty, grapes, juicy, vinous, white wine all over. Sweetish, nice fruity sourness. Soft texture. Not too complex, tad watery, but I'm a sucker for white wine saisons.

Bottle, huge thanks Hrabren! Murky yellow body, white head. Creamy aroma, vanilla, citric, light phenols. Lean taste, white wine, soft, thin, you can see that 00 went even further down, ending quite dry, with some slightly juicy aromatics saying, apple juice, very very light phenols, light light light acetic touches. Hmm, makes sense but, hah, slightly too much subdued and watery.
