Blended 2023 is a masterwork of Missouri craft, weaving together turbid-mashed spontaneous beer with a wheat-heavy base and authentic Belgian Lambic. This Brett Beer exhibits a sophisticated marriage of Missouri oak and French oak, imparting subtle vanillins and structured tannins. The aroma is a vibrant tapestry of Brettanomyces Bruxellensis funk—wet hay and earthy leather—brightened by citrus esters. On the palate, the heavy wheat malt provides a soft foundation for complex layers of stone fruit and a delicate, lingering tartness. It finishes impeccably dry and effervescent, showcasing the meticulous bottle conditioning of the Side Project house cultures and a highly hopped farmhouse influence.
