Mixed Culture Foeder Saison brewed with NY-State Pilsner Malt, Rye, Wheat, Spelt, and Oats, aged on Black Cherry Puree. We fermented this beer in one of our American Oak Foeders with our house mixed culture and let it rest in oak for almost 4 months. Then we transferred it into a stainless fermenter holding several hundred pounds of black cherry puree, and gave the beer another month in stainless to re-ferment on the cherries. We're tasting plenty of dark fruit on this: blackberry, black cherry, underripe blueberry, funky plums, and blue raspberry warheads with the sour powder licked off.

Sample at bayberry beer hall, short review
Pours a hqzy copper, just a small ring of lacing
Saison funk and tart black cherry in the nose, some light lemon, crackery malt, sweetish vanilla
Taste is pretty much the same, tart cherry up front, raw wheat on the swallow
Medium body, light carb, smooth and slightly sticky on the finish
Good but nothing special

On draught at the brewery. 14 oz. pour served in a plastic cup due to COVID restrictions. It pours a murky, dark orange-brown color akin to iced tea with a thin, milk-white head and modest lacing. It has a nice aroma with oaky, Belgian funk. There are the spices associated with a Saison, along with apple and cherry. The taste is unique and wonderful: it opens with fruity esters of sour black cherry, apple, and plum over a solid grist base of wheat and rye cracker, which balances the initial sourness. It's nicely complex and continues to unwrap as it warms. It would be great paired with goat cheese. Its mouth feel is lite and crisp with lively carbonation, and it drinks easily at 6% ABV. Overall, Thryfallow is a wonderful farmhouse table beer. It's ideal for early Spring.
