Starting with a mix of pilsner and wheat malts, we crafted Tantivy to have a nice light malt touch on which the mixed cultures resident in some of our veteran barrels could play. The resulting beer came out of the barrels with a lovely spiciness, an intriguing Brett funkiness, and just a hint of sourness. We dry hopped it with some S-hops: Saazer, Sorachi Ace, and Simcoe. The hops rounded out the flavor, giving a bit of tannic dryness, adding some herbal notes and accentuated the spiciness of the beer.

A: Pours a hazy golden/yellow color. A two finger white head forms with good retention. Plenty of lace is left behind.
S: Very aromatic. Esters of grapes and pears up front with a peppery spice. Plenty of yeast characteristics with doughy like malts. Very nice.
T: Like the nose, plenty of esters that give off a fruity grape and pear flavor, and peppery spice. The yeast character is great with some pale cracker like malts. Just a touch of grassy hoppy flavor, and then it becomes wonderfully tart.
M/O: A medium body with effervescent carbonation. The crisp dryness is great. Which all leads to something I can drink a lot of with ease.
This is a really well done Saison. Lots going on from the yeast, esters, spice, even pale malts and light hops. Very glad I came across this and want to get more.
