Saison 8 º

Side Project Brewing

Framboise du Fermier is a masterful expression of a strong Missouri Saison, defined by its intensive raspberry character and sophisticated wild fermentation. Fermented and aged for over a year in French Oak wine barrels, it presents a brilliant interplay between the bright acidity of fresh raspberries and the rustic, earthy funk derived from native Missouri wild yeast. The oak lends a delicate vinous structure and subtle tannins that complement the beer’s exceptionally dry, attenuated finish. High carbonation lifts aromas of red fruit and peppery spice, while the 8% ABV provides a refined warmth. It is a complex, effervescent, and deeply aromatic tribute to traditional farmhouse brewing.

Appearance. Deep pink to ruby-red hue; long-lasting, rocky, light pink head with excellent lacing; slightly hazy with visible effervescence.

Aroma. High intensity; dominant fresh raspberry fruitiness layered with earthy, rustic wild yeast; moderate French Oak character featuring vinous notes and light vanilla; subtle peppery phenols and a faint grainy malt backbone.

Taste. Initial burst of tart raspberry acidity followed by complex, earthy funk; low grainy malt flavor; spicy yeast character resembling cracked black pepper; very dry, highly attenuated finish; lingering raspberry skin and subtle wood tannins in the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body; very high carbonation; effervescent and crisp; noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth; light tannic astringency from fruit and oak.
