Oude Fermier Grand Cru is a blend of our best. A blend inspired by the lambic beers of Belgium; the beers which inspired much of our brewery. Oude Fermier Grand Cru is a glimpse of the last 5 years at Side Project. A blend of Oude Fermier barrels which matured for 1, 2 and 3 years in French oak before blending and allowing to reach a finesse only accomplished with 2 years of conditioning in the bottle before sharing with you.

Decanted for 30ish minutes
Nose w/ balanced funk and honey. Touches of blue cheese and wet hay.
Palate with much more present acid, although still restrained. Soft drinkability, mildly dry. Really great bright citrus throughout.
Soft, effervescent carbonation. Drying finish. Mild pucker. Present tartness throughout.

poured from a light blue-waxed 750mL bottle into a SP 10yr oversized wine glass. pours a hazy yellow but gathers in the glass more of a foggy burnt orange with over three fingers of fluffy but dirty white foam head. musty oak, white wine, light green apple and hay on the nose. tastes mostly follows but it is so layered with complexity. loads of oak, barn funk, white wine, mineral water combine for an incredible drinking experience. hardly any sourness or acidity. thick, full mouthfeel. lower level of carbonation. really, really good. hard to imagine oude fermier getting more complex but they’ve done it.
