This beer began as a perpetually-blended saison refermented in freshly-emptied wine barrels with hand-processed cab franc grapes grown by William Grassie Wine Estates. It was then blended with some grisette, and the base saison’s next generation, and naturally conditioned in the bottle with brettanomyces.

2021 Club release (bottle number 101/264); consumed on 10/13/2022
Pours a translucent and highly effervescent cherry-red body topped with a finger and a half of wavy, sickly rosé-hued foam; solid head retention produces a lasting half-finger of creamy cap, moderate, frothy collar, and a minimal dotting of lacing holding to the walls of the glass.
Aroma opens to a tinge of vinous grape carries by slick, bright, lacto-funk, while touches of nutty oak back cherry and light red raspberry over the middle; a red wine development on the back end of the bouquet shows touches of minerality and a soft barnyard close.
Taste brings juicy Cab Franc grape immediately to the forefront of the palate, with accents of leather and slight barnyard meandering through a subtly mineralic backdrop; cherry pits engage wispy champagne into a green apple lacto-funk finish.
Mouthfeel offers a body on the lighter end of medium and an airy puff of fuller carbonation; exceedingly level textures carry a clean funk and moderate tartness as lighter acidity shines across the back end to a brightened, slightly tannic finish.
Glossy funk enmeshed in expressive grape waves through tannins to an easy cohesion of red fruits via an elevated wine influence; a cohesive blend and poised marriage of bacteria, fruit, and oak.
