Description
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.

Pretty nice Brett, maybe a bit tart. Taste is very smooth, balanced Brett, some light tartness. Pleasant.

Nice Brett and rustic notes, some oak. Taste is along the same lines, quite bright, crispy, with some a bit weird tartness. Good enough.

Sample at the roost pours a clear gold, ring of white head. Dandelion and white sugar nose, honey. Simple, really leads with honey and flowers. Off dry. Chamomile. I like it... but it's not dry enough and not complex enough and a six pack would likely bore you.

SARA Twilight Whisper

Bottle at annual Fryslân tasting. Opaque black color, average sized beige head. Aroma and flavor are malts, sweet notes, bourbon, vanilla a bit. Hmm don't get much more. A bit empty bodied tbh. Hollow beer. Meh. Disappointing for SARA imo. 8-6-6-6-6,5
