Allgash Brewing Company Astrid

Gin, grapefruit pith, lemon peel, low oak, and background funk. Earthy, citrus-forward funk carries into huge tropical-fruit flavor. Harmonious. Some gentle acidity brightens the flavors. The Brett brings it all together. Digging this.

Peppery aroma with woody, earthy, leathery _Brett_ evident in the background; low, spicy hops. Funk-forward flavor, with notes of wood, mushroom, light fruit, white pepper, and cardamom. Lingering tartness. Big but balanced. Well-made but lacking in complexity.

**Aroma:** “Heavy funk in your face, but a good mix of pineapple, peach, and hay. Light spice and subtle sweetness. Ripe pineapple, juicy mango, and peach stone-fruit _Brett_ funk. White wine and white pepper.” **Flavor:** “Prominent tartness, verging on sour, but moderate initial sweetness maintains the balance. The funkiness carries all the way through, like a P Funk megamix, with rustic barnyard flavors and more tropical pineapple and mango. Good carbonation keeps it light on the tongue. Nice earthy funk.” **Overall:** “An unapologetic funky beer that gives you the entire showcase of _Brett_ flavors on top of a well-crafted base. Great balance of citrus and stone-fruit character and light _Brett_ funk. Good juicy notes and nice carbonation with good acidity and funk. This defines what a tart funky saison should be to me.”
