Steppe is a mixed fermentation barrel-aged saison produced from blending barrels ranging from 1 to 2 years of age. These barrels held lightly hopped saisons brewed with flaked and malted wheat. Many months in barrels with wild yeast lends complexity and acidity. We get notes of juicy nectarine, white grape, jasmine flowers, rustic wheat, and grapefruit zest.

750mL bottle drunk 8/26/25.
Clear, bright brass-pineapple-bronze. Small, off-white head slowly to ring.
Mild Brett and moderate lactic character in the nose with pineapple and lemon and a healthy dose of oak. Fairly rich with lots of unripe stone fruit and citrus pith. Biscuity, rustic grains seem supportive.
Rich and malty with a soft, chewy wheat and oak tannin component. Lots of oak but it's not too buttery or acidic. Rich citrus and light tropical fruit with more fruit rind and a lingering juiciness. Pleasingly tart, a fair bit so, but I think it keeps itself from getting too acidic.
