Goose Island Brewhouse "Stomping Lanternflies"
From their website: "American Farmhouse Ale, 6.9% ABV. Featuring a blend of Pilsner and Triticale malts from Deer Creek Malthouse, juicy American hops, and a blend of saison yeast and Brettanomyces. The resulting liquid is complex yet refreshing. Expcet aromas ond flavors of juicy, overripe stone fruit with the beguiling tart, funky, dryness that can only Brettanomyces can bring to the party. get out there, drink a beer, and relaese some of your 2020 aggression on these invasive pests."
Notes via stream of consciousness: Well I can smell the Brett as I'm pouring it which is a good sign. It's a mostly clear golden-amber in color. I see both tiny and larger bubbles streaming steadily upwards, indicating that it's not overly carbonated. The head is a short cap of white, which also suggests a median carbonation. The aroma offers a combination of "horse blanket", lemon cream candy, musty old wood, and herbs. It's unique, and seems like one of those things that you have to get used to, and then either love or hate. I'm leaning towards loving it at this point. On to the flavor... ahhh, that wet straw flavor that you get from Brett is there, and the little bit of lemon. It's grainy, like wheat bread, and gently sweet. There's fruitiness there, including apple, pear, lemon, apricot/nectarine, and a little bit of ripe red raspberry. I might even say tangerine as well. It's a touch grassy, and the herbal note found in the aroma remains but it's very mild. I'd say it's like sage, mint, rosemary, and delicately spicy oregano. Some other notes from the Brett include a little bit of a metallic snippet, and some dry leather. It's very interesting. It's not unusual like the aroma, but it's got a lot going on while at the same time not going overboard. All of the components work well together, and you get bits that standout here and there. Sometimes I find more of the malt, other times I get more of the fruit, etcetera. There's some bitterness to it, but it's soft, and it finishes dry, herbal, and mildly spicy. In the mouth it's medium bodied, and as I suspected, soft with a moderate, fine-bubbled carbonation. Wow, it's really a charmer.It reminds me of a camp cabin on a warm, sunny spring day.
