What Our Editors Thought

“Strong mineral funk in the aroma, lambic-like, with some deeper aged hops and cellar must. Fruit note in the sip quickly drops into an umami tone braced by firm mineral low frequencies that amplify the bitterness.”

What Our Panel Thought

“The aroma is a nod to funky communion wine. Concord-like grapes meet leather, barnyard, and light grain. Starts sweet but quickly becomes tart, tannic, dry, and bitter.”

What the Brewers Say

“Oak-aged wild saison with foraged yeast, Chambourcin and Vidal grape skins.”
