Home. Wherever it is, wherever it was. It means something. For this one, we're bringing together all the bounty of our home. Everything came from an area of 5 miles as the crow flies. We've got malt barley from 24-2 farm, and hops from the Hop to It hopyard. We used it to make something that speaks to it all, something that wouldn't have seemed out of place a few hundred years ago on a farm in Belgium - a rustic saison.

Dwayne Martineau took his best bud, Harriet, and explored some swimming holes for this one. Some by his childhood home and some by his current home. Filmed through a pinhole camera and reproduced onto 1500 individual labels, to remind you of hazy summertimes of his, and maybe your, youth.

Palate follows with that lemony, fruity, and funky sweetness that gives way to a bright tartness with a acetic acid note.
Bright and sharp medium mouthfeel with brisk tingling carbonation - the acidic fruity-floral sweet tart builds and though enjoyed, think I enjoyed 4 ounces more than 8....
