Our continual wild lager series. We take our Noodles rice lager as the base and then add Brettanomyces and age it in Sam, our 20bbl Foedre for six months. Using Solera, or fractionated blending, we pull off about half of the beer and mix it with different wine elements, like Syrah, Sangiovese, Sauvignon Blanc and Orange Roussanne musts. The finished beer is then packaged and allowed to bottle condition for several more months in classic green bottles.

Pours gem clear (SRM 4-5) with a rich golden hue. No head develops, nor does any lace, however, there is a ton of explosive carbonation blasting forth during the pour. The carbonation quickly settles out to occasional, tiny, random bubbles.
The Brettanomyces funk is strong, closely followed by grape must and oak tannins, each in equal parts. Warmth draws out old leather.
The flavor is initially dominated by grape and oak, with the funkiness following. The finish is long and musty. This beer tastes like autumn with light bay brine that builds as it warms.
A light body and smooth texture of Jersey cotton. There is no presence of alcohol, however, the light, fizzy carbonation picks up with each tip of a Pretentious Glass Company Crispy Boi. The glass works very well with this crisp and dry beer.
The brewer identifies this as a "Wild Lager" refermented on grapes. The idea of a Wild Lager is what drew me to this beer, and it really works quite well. It retains the qualities of both a Saison and a Lager. I enjoyed it on a cool and quiet, overcast, Sunday afternoon during the fading summer.
