1 Record presents a sophisticated evolution of the Saison style, harmonizing rustic fermentation with the refined structure of oak. The aroma is a complex tapestry of peppery phenols and vibrant citrus esters, specifically lemon zest and ripe pear, layered over a delicate whisper of toasted vanilla from the barrel aging. On the palate, a soft, grainy malt foundation supports earthy, floral hop notes, while the blending process ensures a nuanced depth. The finish is remarkably dry and effervescent, leaving a lingering trail of spicy yeast and subtle wood tannins that define this elegant, farmhouse-inspired collaboration.
Appearance.Deep gold to pale orange in color with a noticeable haze from being unfiltered. It supports a long-lasting, dense, and rocky ivory head that produces significant Belgian lace.
Aroma.High aromatic intensity featuring a mix of fruity esters like lemon and pear alongside spicy black pepper phenols. Low earthy and floral continental hop character is present, with a subtle toasted oak and light vanilla note from the barrel blending.
Taste.A balanced presentation of citrusy fruit and spicy yeast with a soft, grainy malt palate. Hop flavor is medium-low and floral. The oak aging adds a structured tannic depth and slight woody complexity. It features high attenuation leading to a very dry, bitter, and spicy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-low body with very high carbonation and an effervescent quality. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is noticeable, and the oak aging provides a subtle, pleasant astringency.
