Oude Fermier Grand Cru is a blend of our best. A blend inspired by the lambic beers of Belgium, the beers which inspired much of our brewery. Oude Fermier Grand Cru is a glimpse of the last 5 years at Side Project. A blend of Oude Fermier barrels which matured for 1, 2, and 3 years in French Oak before blending and allowing to reach a finesse only accomplished with 2 years of conditioning in the bottle before sharing with you.

Nicely complex, lemon squash, moderate acidity, some sun-kissed wood. Peach, salt. Pretty clean finish, quenching. Good one.

Bottle at CBJ thanks to LKS. Just a light haze on this orange beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, fairly dry, good superfine carbonation. Tart but never acid citrus fruits, a little lemon sherbet. Think the oak has softened this. Crisp finish. Long sherbetty linger. My kinda sour.

Bottle decanted. Pours a dark orange with medium white head leaving sticky lacing. The aroma is funk, apple skin, oak, lemon, yeast. Slick body, similar flavors to nose, nice tartness, enjoyed this.
