Named after our 660 gallon “oval,” Cask 200 is a celebration of the unexpected and an experiment in variation. Each time we package a portion of its contents, fresh beer is added back to Cask 200 to mix and re-ferment with the aged beer still inside. While this solera-style saison will vary with each bottling, you can expect a delicate malt base supported by funky, yeast-derived flavors and a dry, acidic finish. Sante!

Bottle shared in London - many thanks to Bruce! Batch 2. Pours lightly hazy yellow-gold with a frothy, white head. Juicy, tangy citrus fruits on the nose, light funk, citric bite, apple, peach. Light sweet sweet flavor with assertive but balanced acidic citrus, cleansing lemon, tangerine, dry straw, light jammy citrus. Medium bodied with fine, spritzy carbonation. Very clean on the finish, nice sour lemon bite, moderate acidity. Very drinkable.

Bottle thanks to David. Pours a cloudy orange with medium frothy off white head that diminishes. The aroma is a strong orange peel, citrus, funk, yeast. Thin mouthfeel with nice citrus, lacto, funk, and light sour finish. Easy to drink, really impressive.

Bottle @ What the Funk Denver 2014. One of the first brews that I went for at the festival. Pours a hazy golden orange appearance with a white head. Aroma is funky, lemon citrusy, a touch cheesy aroma with pretty lively carbonation. Really refreshing flavor. Bright fruits (peach / lemon / apricot) in the mouth. Moderately tart with some spiciness. Nice.

Batch 2 from a bottle while at the brewery. Aroma is fairly fruity along with quite a bit of fruity Brett character. Medium light oak character. Moderate citrus, light pear and red apple with moderate tropical fruit including pineapple. Light malt character and light acidity. Pours a pale, cloudy golden orange with a thin white head that recedes quickly to the edges where it linger. Medium lacing and small legs. Flavor starts with a medium light acidity and quite a bit of citrus and tropical fruit. Medium light bitterness and medium light oak character. Light malt notes. Medium light barnyard funk, most of the Brett character is expressed as fruit notes. Medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low acidic based astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall another great beer from SARA. Lots of fruitiness with complimentary oak and funk. Acidity is well balanced and assertive but not dominating.

From bottle at Triple Rock Brewing during Sour Sunday 2014. (my first one from this brewery) Hazy golden with a small white head. Sour aroma and taste of fruit, citrus, some yeast and bread. Easy to drink. Quite tasty.

Crap. Just realized I never rated this beer. I had it via bottle at Farmhouse fest at Hill Farmstead. It was labeled differently back then. Hazy and golden. looked gorgeous in the late summer sun. Grapey, dog biscuit, crystal sweetness and a burst of lemon rind. Mild funk really bright. Enjoyed quite a bit and would have again.

Bottle - thanks to Mike for the share! Pours hazy golden with a small white head that sticks around and laces well. Aroma is light lemon, yeast, funk, perhaps oak, pretty simple overall. Flavor is the same, not overwhelmingly complex, but medium tart, some funkiness, juicy with a touch of initial sweetness and a dry finish. Light body and champagnelike carbonation makes this one very easy to drink; almost a cross between a berliner and a gueuze.
