Brasserie Sacrilège "Répit"
33cl brown glass bottle coded "DDM: 04/2028" and sampled on 27 November 2024
€4.40 @ Cask Beer, Porto, Portugal

Notes: Labeled as an organic Saison Houblonnée at "5.7% VOL" with Chinook and Columbus hops. The French "Répit" translates in English to respite: a short period of rest or relief from something difficult or unpleasant. The label features what looks like a child on his knees wearing a dinosaur costume but i don't know how that comes into play. It's certainly a lot more than a respite, and actually something very livening and inspiring. It's a lightly hazy yellow in color beneath a full head of white that settles readily. Plenty of carbonation. Aroma of brettanomyces with lots of orchard fruits, leather, "horseblanket", wet straw, mud, and a hint of something metallic. The flavor follows with an added vinous character and the hops coming through: spicy, resinous, citrusy, and earthy. The combination of sweet malt, acidity, brettanomyces funkiness, and citrusy and spicy hops is fantastic and this is a really interesting beer that straddles the fence between wine and beer. In the mouth it's medium bodied and spritzy with an elevated, natural, and fine-bubbled carbonation. For the price you can't go wrong with this one for fans of wild ales.
