1840 Brewing Company Contessa, Table for One

What the brewers say

“Brewed with saison yeast and Brettanomyces, hopped with Contessa.”

What our panel thought

“Funky, fruity, powerful nose of pineapple, guava, straw, black currant. Lightly sweet, golden-syrup character with minimal bitterness. Malt is complemented by tropical fruit and earthy Brett funk.”

What our editors thought

Brett-forward nose, more elegant than farmy, leaning toward lemon, lime, wine-cellar notes, with hints of clove. Dry, with refined grain and herbal-spice.”
