What Our Panel Thought

Aroma: “Slight PEZ Candy aroma with a lot of lemon. Clean Pilsner grainy character. Moderate wheat sweetness. Doesn’t present a strong funk like some others in the mix, more dry grain/hay and peppery Brett phenols.”

Flavor: “Lemon plays with polyphenols, but behind a graininess from the Pils malt and bubblegum from the wheat. Fairly dry finish with a bit of watermelon in the aftertaste.”

Overall: “Character from mixed-

fermentation is subtle, hidden behind the typical Pils and wheat expressions. Easy-drinking and delicate, not the level of acidity one might expect from a mixed-fermentation farmhouse beer. More Brett character than acid.”

What the Brewers Say

“A rustic farmhouse ale aged 4 months in a French oak foeder with four varieties of Brettanomyces yeast. Brewed with raw wheat, Pilsner, and Vienna malts and hops from the Alsace region of France. Notes of ripe peaches and aromas of sweet hay.”
