Bleuet du Fermier is our delicate and aromatic Saison du Fermier aged with blueberries in French Oak wine barrels. The brightness, depth, and rustic character are created by the wild yeast native to our family's Missouri farm. This Blueberry Saison was fermented in and aged in wine barrels for several months.

Bottle shared by Yaniv, thanks! Pours a near clear light purple with an off white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has tart blueberry with oak and a bit of leafy green underlying. Flavor has a nice light blueberry that has some tartness and a light oaky and leafy finish.

Bottle thanks to Mikkel! Pours deep dark purple with a small fizzy pinkish head. Aromas of sweet blueberries, lightly tannic, subtle herbal but not the typical lavender kind of blueberry aroma which I sometimes find a bit offputting. Very nice estery fruitiness too. Lightly citric. Taste has lots of sweet blueberries too, lightly lemony and lactic tartness, citrussy, peach skin kind of note, lightly estery with a tannic dry finish.

750 ml bottle, blend #2. Ruby-purple body, with a small, frothy, slightly pink head. Aroma of dark berries, wood, dried fruits, some almond, moderate red wine, slight vinegar. Tastes similar, with a bit more vinegar. Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a quite lively carbonation. Finishes medium sour, medium dry, wooden, vinous, a bit citric, with dark berries, some dried fruits. Very nice. Lovely vinous and dark berry notes, especially in the nose. A bit too acidic in the taste maybe, while still interesting and complex. Score: 8 / 4 / 7 / 4 / 15

Shared by Bart. He has hyped this up for a while now. Very curious ! Pours unclear reddish amber. Small white ring of foam. Smell is fruity, intense, candy-like sweet fruityness, but not sugary. very nice indeed. Taste is very balanced, intense sour (vinegar) , very intense on the fruitfleshy side. very nice indeed, yet perhaps a bit unbalanced on the vinegar sour-side

Bottle shared at a tasting at Tom L’s place. Thanks PDXAmbassador for this bottle! Lovely purple color with a pinkish head. Amazing aroma full of blueberries, some strawberries, oak, funk, wine, light marzipan hint, spicy note. Sour flavor, lactic, puckering, acidic, with lots of juicy berries, light sweetish note, vinous notes. Medium-bodied, rounded. Wonderful stuff.
