Farmstead® Ale Brewed with Lime & Blood Orange and Conditioned Atop Fruit Pomace
Ages ago, our dear friend Bim Lafontaine traveled from Japan to brew with us the inaugural batch of Brother Soigné, a collaboration that we continue to produce in the spirit of that visit.
We condition a small portion of Brother Soigné atop fruit pomace. The result honors both the legacy of that first brew day and the satisfaction of exploration.
Aged atop cherry and raspberry pomace.

Draught, 15th Anniversary Festival, 6/21/25.
Clear golden with soft peach-rose hints. Small, off-white head.
Juicy, soft, mellow and rich with a good balance of Brett and Sacch. Fruits are elegant and well-expressed, but not dominant. Nothing aggressive here, just soft fruitiness, mineral and house character with very slight honey-like malt and bits of cracker and biscuit.
Soft and malty with dainty fruits and no aggressivity anywhere. Good attenuation and body with homogenized fruit character and mellow, round fruity Brett, as well.

From bottle at Wild Festival 2021. Citrussy aroma with lime peel, some orange, suggestions of red fruits. Tart and mild sour, a little bitterness in the finish. Refreshing, balanced, complex. Medium body. A lot going on. Masterful.

Bottle from Silver. Cloudy orange with white head. Funky and tart, with pronounced citrus. Insanely balanced and light drinking. Very soft and well made.

Interesting how subtle the fruits are here, from using the pomace. Raspberry is there, but really an echo late in the mouth, base beer is a lovely one though.

Bottle at the 1st HF Tasting Oldmeldrum. It pours lightly hazy dirty blonde with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is musty, funky, vinous, raspberry pucker, cherry, hay, grass, sweaty, funky, bready, baked goods, brioche, bran muffin, cereal, zingy blood orange, florals, hibiscus, oak and vanilla. The taste is crisp, dry, puckering, zingy, bright citrus, lime sherbet, blood orange, hibiscus, sherbet, refreshers, raspberry, vinous, spritzy, oak, hay, straw, minerality, splash of acidity and dib dab with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Fun fruity action.

750ml bottle I bought in Greensboro, pours a clear greenish gold with no head. Looks like natural wine. Nose has a lot of fruit, there is a clear stone fruit character, cherries, plums, pluots, some grapefruit juice, some funk. Flavor is tart with lime and raw plums, lots of plums, cherries are there but they are white. If there is some ground berry, then it’s very under ripe. Finishes tart, medium-high acid and basically dry. Very easy to drink, good complexity.
