Island Reserve - Saison Farmhouse

Cisco

Farmhouse – 5.5% ABV

First in Series: Buckwheat, oats, and rye fermented with Brettanomyces and a Saison yeast in a 50 hectoliter french oak cask. Herbs and spices grown here at the brewery replaced most of the hops. On it’s way into package it was treated to a host of microflora to create additional character over time; look for it to gain acidity and dryness. Drinking now: A hazy tight laced golden-orange, herbal and spicy with tropical fruit in the nose. Light-Medium bodied yet somehow slick with very fine carbonation. I’ll be cellaring this and pulling a bottle every month to watch it change. Five year peak? We’ll see.
