クラシックセゾン”Integral(インテグラル)”には「別バージョン」が存在します。その名もBrett Version(ブレットバージョン)。

ベースとなるビールは全く同じIntegral。異なる点は、瓶詰めを行う際に少量のブレッタノマイセスと呼ばれる酵母を加えて瓶内二次発酵を行っていること(通常はビール酵母でもあるサッカロマイセスを使っています)。言わば、酵母違いのバージョンです。

セゾン酵母由来のフルーティな味わいと、ブレッタノマイセス由来のスパイシーさ。英語では「FUNKY」と形容される、この独特の複雑な味わいは、世界中のビールファンを熱狂させているもの。

瓶詰めされるビールは同じものですが、こんなにも違うものになるのか、と作り手も日々変わりゆくコンディションにワクワクしています。このBrett Version、お手元で熟成を進めていただければ、更に複雑さを増していくビールとなっています。

The "Integral" has alternative version. It called "Brett Version". The base beer is the same as the "Integral", but the difference is that a small amount of Brettanomyces is added during the bottling process, and the beer undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle. It has a fruity taste from the saison yeast and a spicy taste from Brettanomyces. Described as "FUNKY" in English, this unique and complex flavor is something that has beer geek enthused. It's the same beer in nature, but the brewers are excited to see how different it can be, and to see the conditions of the beer changing day by day.

huge rocky white head. Spicy hops, funky yeast, earthy, brett is there but not overpowering. Super refreshing medium body, smooth palate,dry, funky yeast, modest bitterness, oranges, apples, wheat. Amazing depth. Better than regular integral. Super well balanced, feels lighter than 7.5%.

Bottle from the brewery. Lovely dry bretty nose, citrus, hay, light honey, apple, nectarine. Bright gold, almost clear, huge rocky head that falls quickly. Bright and fruity, stone fruits, citrus, apple, hay, herbs. A bit of sweetness turns into a dry, champagne-like finish. Bright carbonation. Body is perfect. A masterpiece.

Lovely stuff. Creamy. Enjoyable Brett spike. With more of the bottom bit becomes cloudier and creamier. Still got the Brett funk and a bit of tartness though. Good stuff!
