Fermented with a mixed culture of Belgian Saison yeast and several funky strains of Brettanomyces. It then rested for twenty one months in oak puncheons that previously held red wine. The blend was finished off with a dry hopping of whole leaf cashmere hops.
Bright Light pours gold in color with a dusty haze and white foam. Fresh and grassy whole hop aromatics, presenting as lemon, apple skin, honeydew and kiwi, float on a bed of toasty malts and wine soaked oak. Earthy, wet hay, and complex yeast funkiness round out the aromatic profile as the beer warms. Dry on the palate with moderate to high carbonation, a light but present acidity, and a touch of oak astringency lead to a dynamic finish.

Corked and caged 375 ml bottle courtesy of beastiefan2k. The pour is a hazed golden with a minimal white head. The aroma is grass, hay, fruit, red wine oak, and a yeast funk. The taste has the Brett yeast right up front, leather and funk, moves into the soft grass and hay, has a nice edge of tropical fruit sweetness, then closes with the red wine and wood oak character. The Brett carries through the full taste, and dries the beer out. The palate is medium bodied, soft natural carbonation, with the dry, Brett finish with lingering oak and red wine. Creative, well structured beer. Thank you for sending this beer, Eugene.
