Side Project Brewing

This Brett Beer showcases Side Project’s signature blonde Missouri Wild Ale transformed by an intensive refermentation on Oregon Blueberries. The pour is a vibrant, deep violet with a fleeting pink foam. Aromatics lead with jammy blueberry skins and floral notes, underscored by complex Brettanomyces funk suggesting wet hay and stone fruit. Dual aging in French Oak and Missouri Oak contributes subtle vanillin and a structured tannic backbone. On the palate, a bright, snappy tartness supports layers of ripe berry and earthy wild yeast. It finishes remarkably dry and crisp, leaving a lingering, woody, and slightly tannic fruit-skin astringency.

Appearance. Deep ruby-purple to vibrant magenta; clear to slight haze from fruit refermentation. Moderate to low head retention with a faint pinkish tint; light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominated by ripe, jammy Oregon Blueberries, floral berry notes, and earthy Brettanomyces funk (hay, light barnyard). Nuanced oak presence with hints of toasted wood and vanilla. No diacetyl or DMS.

Taste. Initial impression is tart berry and dry oak. Pronounced blueberry flavor with skin-like tannins. Malt is a background player, offering light cracker notes. Brett character provides tropical fruit and earthy complexity. Bitterness is low, allowing the fruit acidity and wood tannins to provide structure. Finish is very dry and clean with lingering berry.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body. High carbonation providing a lively, effervescent scrub. Low alcohol warmth. Slight tannic astringency from the oak and Oregon Blueberries enhances the dry finish.
