This sophisticated barrel-aged Saison is a rustic exploration of terroir, blending aged farmhouse ale with Lambiek and a diverse selection of Rijnrode pomace. The infusion of Bacchus, Chasselas, Johanniter, Phoenix, Muller Thurgau, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, and Regent grapes imparts a vinous complexity that elevates the traditional spicy yeast profile. Expect a sensory journey of stone fruit and delicate red berry notes intertwined with peppery phenolics and earthy, wild funk. The oak influence provides a structured backbone, leading to a bone-dry, effervescent finish where the interplay of grape tannins and bright acidity highlights the brewer's masterful blending intent, creating a refreshing yet deeply layered profile.

Appearance. Deep gold to pale orange with a slight copper tint; hazy and unfiltered appearance with a long-lasting, dense, rocky ivory head and intricate Belgian lace.

Aroma. High intensity with a complex bouquet of pome and stone fruits mixed with spicy black pepper yeast esters. Notable vinous character from the grape pomace offers floral and earthy notes alongside a subtle wood-aged musk and light, rustic graininess.

Taste. Initial impression is bright and acidic with a soft, grainy malt backbone. Flavors of white grape and dried berries give way to a moderate bitterness and spicy phenolics. The finish is extremely dry and lingering, showcasing complex tannins from the grape skins and a rustic, wild fermentation character.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with very high carbonation providing an effervescent, prickly sensation. Light alcohol warmth is well-integrated, complemented by a mild, wine-like astringency from the pomace and barrel aging.
