Fragments 3
Good Measure Brewing Co.

This is the third in our series of blended American Wild Ales. This beer is a blend of three barrel components. The First is Barn Coat our house saison aged for over 3 months in a third use brandy barrel with a mixed yeast and bacteria culture and loose leaf gunpowder green tea. The Second component is a tart saison fermented with Bartlett pear puree in stainless steel and then re-fermented on oak staves and more pear puree with a mixed yeast and bacteria culture. The Third is a sour golden ale aged for over 11 months on bourbon staves with a mixed yeast and bacteria culture. We then re-fermented the final blend in bottle with freshly pressed pear juice to add even more fruit character . It pours a light golden color with a refined carbonation that is just spritzy enough. This beer exhibits a strong Brett nose and overtone that leads to notes of barnyard, citrus fruit and white pepper. The pear comes though both strong on the nose and on the palate with a crisp refreshing finish. It's complex but also subtle and is a true expression of what pears can do in a beer.
