Taking inspiration from traditional saison brewers of Belgium and revivalist brewers of North America, Tempus Corvi is a mixed-fermentation saison. We let this saison rest for 5 months in French oak wine barrels where the activity of a diverse collection of Saccharomyces and Brettanomyces yeasts and lactic acid bacteria transformed the beer, adding sourness and additional complexity. With its bright acidity and light body, Tempus Corvi is a refreshing beer ready to drink now or be cellared for continued development along its own course.

2017 vintage at 7.9%.
Clear bronze, pours a little head, but no retention or lace.
Aroma has a light Farmhouse funk that's enticing.
Nice funk to the flavour without being overly tart. Leaning a little more wild than saison, and I like it. No crappy tannin from the barrel.
Moderate body is nice and bubbly and not too dry or acidic.

Moon Under Water Brewpub 'Tempus Corvi' @ 7.9% , served from a corked & caged 500 ml bottle from the Crow's Nest series
A-pour is a light gold from the bottle to glass with a small white head leaving a spotty lace along the goblet , last pour has floaters
S-hints of Pinot Noir
T-so smooth at the start yet a bitter Pinot Noir swallow
MF-ok carbonation , full bodied
Ov-nice saison/wild ale , might get better with time in the cellar

500ml bottle (2015).
Cloudy pale straw with minimal head. Lemon, wine, perhaps some apple. Huge grape, apple and mild barrel flavours. Pleasantly effervescent with a medium body. Impressive!

Pours a pale yellow with a thin white head. Smell is exceedingly complex, tons of citrus, particularly lemon, a huge kick of funk too. More of the same on the taste but an added oak flavour and a nice lactic quality. A touch of wheat on the aftertaste. Mouthfeel is on the lighter side.
This is another knock-out sour in Moon's Crow's Nest series, for being fairly new to barrel-aging, MUW is putting out some of, if not the best sours in the country.
