Three Sisters
Templin Family Brewing

spontaneous beer with quite a bit of time in oak, really impressive specimen, a gift from my brother in law, so good to have beer friends! this is special stuff, and while i had it in the middle of having way too many drinks last night on the fourth of july, i loved every drop and was surprised by its high level of refinement, although i guess i shouldnt have been, given its templin and all their beer is so polished. love the art on this one, the green glass is cool too for this, highly authentic even if it doesnt quite drink like lambic. crazy how clear the first couple of pours are, immaculate, and real light looking, unexpected in a style that definitely permits some haze, only light sediment at the bottom and a shot but lasting white head with slow rising bubbles the whole time. the aroma on this is cool, funky and weird, woody, white wine, dried apricot, golden raisin, some middle sweetness, wheat for sure, wet concrete type minerality, almost a salinity to me, some tartness but mostly well developed bretty funk, farmy and interesting on the ferment, definitely wild, no real hop character at all but lightly herbal at the end i suppose. the flavor is right there with the nose, some lemony acidity in here, a light white vinegar thing too, but just as much funk and its not too sour to drink a lot of, which i did. the grain is light in here, and does not taste old despite the obvious maturity through the rest of the beer. no real oxidation either even with the green glass, subtle if any. the funk is awesome, and there is a lot of fruitiness in the middle from green grapes to white peaches, sort of juicy and captivating. its obvious that its a spon beer, but its also unique to itself, unlike others ive had, and really well executed overall. lots of oak, light as can be in body still somehow, and with gorgeous carbonation that doesnt rush this but keeps it moving well. elite. stoked to have received this gift!
