Aged in Okanagan red wine barrels, our Saison Brett is invigorated with wild yeast strain Brettanomyces, inviting hues of straw and earth.

750ml corked and caged bottle poured tulip a ways back (from notes) thanks Rutager for the want
A 4.5 clear golden yellow with just a hue of salmon, bubbles are tiny fast and everywhere, two fingers of foam leaves partial rings deep down the glass, foam to the bottom, sexy looking beer
S nice yeast profile coming out, faint cherry, orange peel, candied pineapple, apricot, wet grass and dried hay, a little wood and vanilla, some spice and earthy tones I cant place, lots going on in this one, smells great
T brett comes out a little more but there's a long time before the yeast takes over this bottle, more earth spice and less fruity notes, just a little barrel but it works, not as intense as the nose but still tastes great
M medium bodied, bubbles thick it up, a little slick yet somehow has some tannin going on to if that makes any sense, earthy yeast and candied pineapple linger, no complaints here
O one of those beer that I want several bottles to drink at different ages, this one has 6ish months and I think its doing great but who know once the brett firmly in charge
If my interest in 4 winds wasn't sparked before it defiantly is now, from the few I've had all have been great, ISO 4 Winds!!!

Tasted from 750mL bottle
A — Pours a light and somewhat hazy pale yellow color. There is a puffy light white colored head that forms, and leaves behind greatly consistent and sticky lacing.
S — Smells of fresh lemon rind and juice, lightly limey notes as well, bit of a brett presence as it is funky and barn yardy.
T — Brett predominately, funky, airy, bright and lightly tart, light green apple flavor to it.
M — Light and airy, medium bodied, long and lingering finish.
O — Nice overall, big fresh brett notes, very nice.
