Saison Tournante - Barrel Fermentation IV
The Virginia Beer Company
Saison – 6.8% ABV – 24 IBU
The result of an exclusively rustic primary fermentation - skipping the stainless vessels in favor of fermentation directly in red wine French & American oak barrels. After eight months fermenting in wine barrels, this Saison was transferred to bottles at the start of autumn. Barrel Fermentation IV is now undergoing bottle-conditioning with Brett Brux, which will produce even more of the trademark esters + phenols that often mark a "Brett beer" as funky with hints of tartness.
