This is a Lagunitas-ified version of a traditional Farmhouse ale, aged in red wine oak barrels and funkied up with Brettanomyces yeast. It’s a golden saison-sour with a nice tartness that leaves your buds quenched and wanting more. Proost!

At the January 2026 DC Brewver gathering. 12oz bottle. Poured a clear yellow-orange without much of a head. Aroma was sweet tartness, vinous, with a decent amount of acid.

12oz bottle pours a clear burnt orange, no head. Nose has candy and malt, a little salad dressing, a bit industrial. Flavor is sweet tart, some malt, leather and apple cider vinegar. Full, a little hot, high acid finish. Probably a year or two too aged.

12oz bottle. Nice wine barrel tone. At 8.2 has some body and depth. Leathery Brett. 5 years age worked pretty well.

The aromas are a combination of red wine vinegar, Oak and beer. Flavors are like nose, nicely tart with a little sweet to balance and good carbonation. Decent body and a slightly sweet tart finish.

355ml bottle. Opalescent, minimally faint, copper colour with small, frothy, fading, white head. Funky and vinous fruity, slightly woody aroma, hints of blue grapes, oak, some brett, a touch of leather. Taste is sweet-and-sour, vinous fruity, slightly dry, funky, bretty, yeasty spicy, woody, notes of blue grapes, some oak, a touch of leather; sour, acidic finish with a touch of vinegar. Slightly oily, watery texture, astringent palate, very fine, soft, minmally prickly carbonation. Rather sour, pretty vinous - quite nice.
