Stone Fruit, Citrus, Rustic
An exploration using large percentages of rye in a North American-style, foeder fermented Brett Saison. Background grassy flavours lay the foundation for aromas of ripe stone fruit, citrus peel and classic Brettanomyces complexity. Drink now or cellar lovingly.
We used two different types of Citra hops - On the hot side we used Citra Noble, the debittered bract byproduct from the CryoHops process which results in a low flavour, low bittering potential hop that still shows some character of the varietal while also being reminiscent of classic european noble hop varieties. To accent the fermentation character and this baseline hop aroma we dry hopped with the regular Citra pellet that we know and love for it’s amazing grapefruit and tropical flavours. This all comes together to be a complex, dry and refreshing saison in an american style.

Tasting at Oakes' Manor, corked bottle
Hazy to cloudy blond colour, compact head. The aroma is quite funky, some rye, spicy. Off-dry, smooth, spicy, with tangerine and orange touch, a bit astringent in the finish.
Very good.

Hazy, medium head. On the nose, this has a lot of rye spiciness. It's a bit fruity. The body is soft, there's a mellow fruit character, touch of rye. Soft and smooth. I like it.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy golden with a medium white head. Aroma brings out lots of spiciness, earthiness, and rustic saison. Flavour is quite spicy, with lots of spicy rye, saison yeast, and earthy notes. Spicy, rustic and earthy. Well-made and fairly complex.
