A new one-off from one of our brewers. It’s a dry-hopped farmhouse ale fermented with two strains of brettanomyces (keep in mind that brett in primary fermentation doesn’t make funky flavours) and one strain of brewer’s yeast (saccharomyces), that showcases soft Belgian yeast aromatics with hints of green banana, spicy and citrusy hop notes, low bitterness, and a dry finish.

Bottle: Poured a hazy hay color ale with a large off-white foamy head with excellent retention and some good lacing. Aroma of dry rustic malt notes with light hay ester is pretty enticing. Taste is also a very good mix of rustic malt with dry hops and dry ester notes with light hay notes also discernable. Body is pretty full for average with good carbonation. Very enjoyable farmhouse ale with good balance between some complexity and great drinkability.

A new saison with brett. Nice mix of juicy hops and a dry Brett finish. A bit of banana, perhaps peach. The nose is floral but a bit faint. Pretty good, refreshing beer.
