Side Project Brewing Oude Du Blé (10 Year)
Saison 6 º
Oude Du Blé is a masterful Saison that highlights the elegant interplay between Missouri Wheat and sophisticated barrel aging. This expression undergoes a mixed fermentation with local microflora and classic yeast, resulting in a profile defined by bright acidity and rustic charm. Thirteen months in Chardonnay French Oak barrels imparts soft, rounded vanillin and a light tannic structure, elevating the grainy wheat character. The sensory experience is lead by tart stone fruits, zesty lemon, and earthy funk, all underpinned by a delicate, vinous oak presence. It concludes with a signature dry finish and a lingering, complex tartness that defines the pinnacle of American farmhouse brewing.
Appearance. Pale gold with a slight haze from the high wheat content; features a dense, rocky white head with excellent retention and delicate Belgian lace.
Aroma. High intensity with a complex bouquet of lemon zest, white grape, and stone fruit esters. Distinctive funk provides earthy and barnyard notes, while the French Oak adds subtle vanilla and toasted wood. A light, grainy wheat malt backbone is present beneath the tart, vinous aromatics.
Taste. Initial sharp tartness transitions into a soft, grainy wheat palate. Flavors of green apple, lemon, and Chardonnay grape dominate, balanced by a low hop bitterness. The fermentation character is highly complex with peppery phenolics and a moderate lactic acidity. It finishes bone-dry with a lingering, elegant oak tannin and a clean, acidic snap.
Mouthfeel. Light to medium-light body with very high, effervescent carbonation. There is a noticeable but gentle acidity that pricks the tongue, accompanied by a soft texture from the wheat and a faint, warming vinous quality.
