Barrel Aged fruity Sour Ale. Historical blend of a rustical saison of which half is aged 6 months in oak barrels which contained wine. Remarkably komplex, dinstinguished through the wild yeasts’ actions. Refreshring, well-balanced between sour and bitter notes, as well as an intensiv fruitiness. The ideal and surprising compromise between wide aromtatic complexity and a refreshing easy drinking beer.

On tap at Ammutsøn, Wien Friday 22nd May 2026. Pours warm gold with a slight haze and a nice white clinging head. Tangy and with a fruity tart edge. The oakiness from the barrel ageing is clearly noted, there is a slight dustiness (but not a negative) a cider or even gueuze tannin dry sour edge. Good. Score:7.5

Backlog October 2013. Unclear golden orange body under a big, white head. Aroma is fruity with hint of lemon, slightly funky and all over very refreshing. Taste deliver in accordance with expectations from aroma, light and refreshing with some fruity complexity, mild acidity, slightly funky and balanced bitterness. Balanced body with the same refreshing aftertaste. A really nice Saison.

Bottle at home. Wonderfully complex aroma of tart fruits, Bretty funk, citrus, zesty orange, oak, light malty, spicy notes, apricot. Flavour is tart and medium sour. Body is medium. Wow, this Saison is something else entirely, it leaves most ’competitors’ way behind. This almost akin to a Lambic, wonderful complex Bretty funky and sour, amazing!

It's a muted saison, but it's good as hell.
