Side Project Brewing Saison du Blé (Blend #13)
Saison 6 º
Saison du Blé (Blend #13) represents a masterful harmony between a fluffy Wheat Saison and a tart, oak-aged Missouri wild ale. The sensory profile is defined by a soft, doughy wheat foundation that provides a billowy, creamy texture despite its remarkably dry finish. Side Project’s local microflora introduces a vibrant, lemon-like acidity and rustic earthy funk that complements the delicate fruit esters of apricot and green apple. Months of oak aging contribute a refined tannic structure and faint vanillin, while natural conditioning ensures a lively, effervescent presentation that exemplifies the sophisticated complexity of the modern Saison.
Appearance. Pale straw to light gold (4–6 SRM). Topped by a dense, rocky, long-lasting white head with exceptional Belgian lacing. Unfiltered and hazy, characteristic of a high wheat content and bottle conditioning.
Aroma. High intensity with a complex blend of zesty lemon, green apple, and white pepper. The malt character is soft and grainy, specifically featuring doughy wheat. Distinctive funky notes of sun-dried hay and earthy microflora are present, supported by a faint, woody oak background.
Taste. Initial impression is a bright, clean lactic tartness that leads into a soft, grainy wheat palate. Hop flavor is low, with the acidity and spicy yeast phenols providing the primary balance against the malt. Flavors of citrus zest and stone fruit merge with a distinct oak-derived dryness. The finish is bone-dry and crisp with a lingering, earthy, and slightly tart aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a unique creamy and billowy texture from the wheat. Very high carbonation and effervescent. Low alcohol warmth. Features a slight tannic astringency from the oak that enhances the dry finish.
