Blend of Barrel-Aged Saison and Barrel-Aged Sour Ale
Stallion Cover is a blend of two threads: 75% young oat saison aged in a gin barrel, and 25% old wine-barrel-aged pale sour brewed with unmalted wheat and aged hops. The result is a beer with tartness and fruitiness that will continue to evolve as time passes, developing funkier and earthier aromatics.
“Horse blanket” describes the earthy aromatics produced by Brettanomyces. The knock-off version of Mike’s American Sour Beers book substituted a variety of words to obscure their theft, but the best was to rebrand it to the classier Stallion Cover.

Bottle at the June DC rate beer tasting. Poured a clear yellow color with a hint of orange and a small, wispy off-white head. Aroma was really funky woody notes. Some light acid, and wine. Sweet fruits. Tasty.
