The first beer to come out of our long term barrel ageing program. This is a rye saison brewed in July 2017. The beer was been aged in white wine barrels for 11 months to take on the character of the oak barrel and the wine it contained. A small amount of brettanomyces was added to the barrel to work with the existing yeast in the barrel to further develop the flavour and complexity of the beer.

Beaverfest. Keg. Hazy gold beer, small cream colour head. Light and minerally crisp palate. A little wood under the thin malts. Decent bright white grape, nice light touch of white wine. Medium bitterness on the finish and a touch of ripe citrus. Nice.

Tap. Unclear amber color with small head. Aroma is vineous, a bit strawy, barrel funk, balsamico. Taste is maltose, caramel, a bit vineous funk again. Oily mouthfeel with low carbonation. Not great.
