Side Project Brewing Rosé du Blé (Blend #1)
Saison 6 º
Rosé du Blé is a nuanced Saison that marries a rustic wheat base with the vinous elegance of Missouri Chambourcin grapes. Fermented with family-farm-derived Brettanomyces and Lactobacillus, the sensory profile is defined by a delicate balance of lemony acidity and earthy, wild funk. Aging in Missouri Oak foedres adds a structural backbone, while the grape skins impart a distinct rosé-inspired character—expect bright red berry aromatics and a whisper of floral tannin. This effervescent ale presents a sophisticated interplay of spicy yeast phenols and stone fruit esters, finishing bone-dry with a lingering, wine-like sophistication that reflects its time spent maturing in wood.
Appearance. Soft pinkish-ruby to deep rosé hue with a hazy, unfiltered appearance. Topped by a dense, ivory head with a slight pink tint that shows moderate retention and fine Belgian lacing.
Aroma. High aromatic intensity featuring a complex blend of red berry and grape skin from the Chambourcin additions. Complementary notes of spicy black pepper, lemon zest, and rustic Brettanomyces funk (hay, light leather) over a soft, grainy wheat background. Subtle toasted oak and vanillin notes emerge as it warms.
Taste. Bright, tart initial impression driven by Lactobacillus acidity and vinous grape notes. The mid-palate offers soft, grainy wheat and spicy yeast phenols, followed by stone fruit esters. Hop bitterness is low, as the refreshing acidity and light Chambourcin grape tannins provide the primary balance. The finish is exceptionally dry and crisp with a lingering fruity, slightly earthy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a soft, creamy wheat texture. High carbonation provides a lively, effervescent, champagne-like feel. Low alcohol warmth is well-integrated, accompanied by a light, pleasant tannic astringency from the grape skins and oak.
