Make You Feel
The Veil Brewing Co. - Production Brewery

 

 

The beer pours a nice white and creamy foam head that dissipates at a moderate pace but still leaves a good cover over the surface. The beer itself is a very good looking clear golden yellow that looks very nice.

The smell is good. It has a good and balanced smell with the different notes contrasting and supporting each other very well. The main note is a moderate funk note with a hint of tannin and oak barrel. There is a bit of an orange hop smell mixing with the other notes while a light honey note occasionally comes out to add a bit of a contrast.

The taste is pretty good. It has the same notes as the smell but the intensity of each note differs. The funk is the same but the orange note is a bit stronger and adds a bit of bitterness that is a nice contrast to the wooden oak note. The red wine is a bit lighter but adds a nice acidity to it. The honey present in the smell only comes out a little bit in the finish along with a slight bread note.

The feel is pretty. It's a light bodied beer but with a solid and smooth texture to it. It has a slightly dry finish to it. There is some slight tingling carbonation to it.

Overall, this is a fantastic saison that I highly recommend and hope that they continually bring back.

 

 

 

 

Received in a trade and shared with JLindros.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice slightly hazy golden hue with a thin white head that fades to leave light wisps.

S - Aromas of pleasant vinous notes, good light grape. Very pleasant almost drie fonteinen like funk. Good funk and horse blanket, nice acidity as well.

T - Taste is similar to the nose with excellent wine barrel notes, nice pleasant funk and tartness. Really good almost geueze like notes, very good acidity as well.

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, very little carbonation, feels thin and watery.

O - Overall this was a very solid wine saison from Veil. There are tons of great positive notes here! Really enjoyed.

Serving Type: bottle

Thanks to rudzud
Light fizzy bubbly small head fades quickly, fairly hazy golden honey color

Nose is basically a Drie Fonteinen level lambic funk, earthy funk but not much horseblanket, fair acidity, nice bacteria acidic funk, a decent wine barrel note in the background, a touch lemony acidic fruity funk, mild vinous wine, fair fruitiness

Taste brings more lambic like but lighter, some funk but less, not much funk in general maybe a touch of barnyard funk, more acidic fruity flavors, lemony tart acidity, bacteria funk, more wine barrel that the nose, nice mild red wine vinous notes, a little oaky note, mild flemmy acidity esp on the finish,

Mouth is med to a bit thinner, carbonation a bit light too but not bad,

Overall very nice, although there are things that could pop more, esp the mouth, otherwise very nice.

 

 

 

 

 

This is super interesting and i am exited to see how it matures in the bottle. On draft at veil. Along the lines of Spon and Blended, this has really great spontaneous veins with a touch more acetic acid than the former. Like a saison version of cantillon geuze. Overall very tasty
