About
We focus our attention on brewing rustic, unfiltered, aromatic beers that are approachable and unique. We pull from our home brewing background to build beers that pay homage to tradition, but break new ground in American brewing techniques and flavors by blurring the line between beer and wine. We are brewers of big ideas in very small batches.

7.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
On tap at City Beer, pours a hazy pale golden with a medium creamy white head. Nose is like a traditional rustic farmhouse ale, with loads of rustic spicy notes and some moderate barnyard funk. Flavour isn't as impressive as the nose, but this is still a high quality authentic saison, with very rustic notes, low funk, and Belgian yeast. Nice and dry, with a very rustic mouthfeel. Great stuff.

On tap at City Beer, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma is very pungent, with notes of herbal hops, pine cones, and a bit of Belgian yeast - very inviting. Flavour is similar, with notes of pungent herbal hops, pine, and biscuity malt to back. Extremely pungent on the hops, with a medium astringency. Awesome IPA.

Tasting at Bruce’s pad. A Brucey bonus! Almost clear brown beer. Small pale tan head. Palate is crispy and dry. Sharp sourness. A little dark fruits and a whisper of coffee. Light sour lactose. Crispy dry finish. Not bad but a little too much lactose go be better.

Bottle, big thanks to Bruce. It pours hazy pale orange with a small white head. The nose is earth, wood, vanilla, sweet orange, apricot, peach, dankness, barnyard, light vinegar and a touch of sulphur in the background. The taste is quite tart upfront, tart peach, apricot, good deal of acidity, touch of creaminess, sherbet, faint vinegar, lemon and sour candy with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Nice perky tartness. Really rather delicious.

Bottle shared at Bruce’s in London - big thanks to Bruce. Pours clear red-brown with a frothy tan head. The nose holds tangy, dark berries, leather, suggestions of cocoa. Light sweet flavor, pretty dry, some toasty bread, leathery dark fruits, mellow funk. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Dynamic finish, lightly toasted malts, funky and leathery berries, subtle citric sour bite. Lovely.
