Aged with Brett Claussenii in oak barrels for over a year. Funky and slightly tart.

This beer likely does not have a good category here. It’s a lager. Aged in oak. Using Brett during the aging. The American Brett seemed the best choice.
Medium amber and stained glass clear, it doesn’t have a lot going up top. A few straggling bubbles at the glass edge is all I get.
Nose easily gives off the barrel aging - a rich oak wood with a hint of vanilla, not too unlike a woody Chardonnay. There Brett adds just a little tang, which keeps with the wine impression. The light malt sweetness replaces any grape/fruit and finally dispels the impression.
The beer’s flavor is similar, but packs less power than the nose. A little citrus tartness is quelled by the barrel notes. A base amber lager provides a strong foundation, but one that hasn’t had its weight tested by the other notes. Overall, the taste sorta leans back to a lighter white wine. Prominent yet general slightly tart fruit notes with the Brett mustiness coming in behind.
Medium light and refreshing, the best sips are when I inhale through my nose right before I take a sip, balancing out the nice oaky nose and more fruity palate.
