Belgian pale & pilsner malts w/ Styrian Golding for bittering and Saaz for aroma. Ginger predominates the spicing. Fermented in primary with Ommegang’s house yeast, followed by secondary with Brettanomyces bruxellensis. Dry-hopped in secondary w/ a blend of hops; Tettnang being the stand-out. The flavor profile is very herbal with an earthy undertone (very fitting for a Belgian-style farmhouse ale). The dry finish and pronounced hop aromas hide the 8% abv very well. Dangerously drinkable for its strength and character.

Hazy golden with a lasting white head. Aroma of citrus, coriander and other spices, flowers and a hint of alcohol. Dry, spicy and floral flavour with some pepper, something like fruity American hops, and a reasonably bitter finish.

ummmm, im not sure what to say. this is definetly the most interesting beer ive had in a long time. its like its not sure whether it wants to be a lambic, a farmhouse ale, a pale ale, or maybe a little of it wishes to be a champagne? delicious, herbal, and refreshing, a wonderful mix of flavors, tight bubbles make for a bit of a bite at first, but mellows out very qiuckly. a wonderfiul find

750ml corked bottle. Thick, murky orange-tan color with a frothy, thick head. Sour aroma of brettanomyces and funky farmhoue wheat. Lemony brett taste at first almost sandy on the palate. The dry bitterness of the hops really shines as you get into the beer. Complex and enjoyable, an interesting balance between sour and bitter. Excellent.
