Reviewed blind for NBS BIF.

My first thought when I smelled it was "sour." My second thought as I poured it was "oak aged." The beer pours a clear apple juice color with a very fast, fizzy white head. The smell reminded me of apple juice or hard cider a bit but has that funky, lacto smell I associate with sours. I'm also getting some oak deep down. The taste made me say, "whoa." It's not really at all what I anticipated. It's a saison, barnyard funk to it that's really strong and earthy. Does this have Brett? It's been a while since I've had a brett beer, so I'm a bit rusty. The mouthfeel is low, fizzy carbonation, and really, really dry on the finish. After tasting it, I'm definitely wrong on my sour notes. Smelling it again after the tasting makes that clear. I just gave it to my wife to try. She pretty much only drinks IPA. She took one smell and said "Barrel Aged." She took a second smell and said "saison." I think she's a smart woman. I would normally be surprised to see ao oak aged saison in a 16 oz can, but I guess anything is possible nowadays - to include me being totally wrong. After the reveal I can see the earthiness as wheat. Good beer.
