Description
Stillwell Brewing is the brewery off-shoot of Halifax craft beer bar Stillwell. We are a small brewing project focussing on oak-fermented, bottle conditioned farmhouse-style ales that are subtle, balanced and unique to our brewery. We’re brewing on a very old, very manual 15bbl, two-vessel steam-powered brewhouse. We also make draught-only lagers for Stillwell, Stillwell Beergarden & The Stillwell Freehouse.

Quite pale, hazy, no head. There's a bit of saaz on the nose, pale malt. A touch of saison yeast. The same yeast character carries through on the palate. Medium bitterness, nice hop note. Good balance. The lightness definitely makes it nicely drinkable.

750mL bottle, pours a clear pale blonde with a large white head. Aroma brings out light funk, rustic saison yeast, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is dry and grainy, with gentle spiciness, dry graininess, and crackery malt. It sort of has a rustic character, which is helped by the assertive carbonation. I don't know if I'd guess this was a saison if I didn't know it was — dry, grainy, and crisp. Good but seems a little off style.
