Entracte is a vibrant Modern Farmhouse Ale that elegantly bridges the gap between a traditional Saison and wild fermentation. Brewed with raw wheat, it presents a rustic, grainy foundation that supports a complex house culture of bacteria and wild yeast. The aroma is a bouquet of citrus and white grape, evolving into a lightly funky, earthy profile. On the palate, a delicate sourness replaces aggressive bitterness, highlighting notes of vinous grapes and spicy phenols. With its high attenuation and lively carbonation, this Sacrilège creation offers a crisp, refreshing, and profoundly dry finish that celebrates its farmhouse heritage with a contemporary, grapy twist.
Appearance.Pale gold (5 SRM) with a noticeable haze from the use of raw wheat. It features a long-lasting, dense, rocky white head that leaves significant Belgian lace on the glass.
Aroma.High aromatic intensity driven by a mix of fruity-spicy yeast esters and a distinctive grapy character. A light, earthy funk and subtle lactic sourness are present from the house culture, complemented by low, floral dry-hop notes and a grainy, rustic raw wheat malt profile.
Taste.Initial impression is a bright, tart acidity followed by flavors of white grape and citrus. A soft, grainy malt backbone provides balance against the moderate lactic sourness. Hop bitterness is low, allowing the acidity and spicy, peppery yeast phenols to lead the profile. The finish is bone-dry and refreshing with a lingering vinous aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with very high, effervescent carbonation. It possesses a slight creaminess from the raw wheat but remains crisp. Alcohol warmth is negligible, and the finish is notably astringency-free and clean.
