Side Project Brewing Bière du Pays

Aroma: “Moderate lemon note with light tart and Lacto. Moderate fruity esters including grapefruit and a light orange. Brett funk with some tropical fruit, passion fruit, slight wet-hay.”

Flavor: “Highly carbonated but light carbonic bite, probably due to the Lacto, and a malt bill that provides creaminess despite being weightless. Bright fruity notes with tart lime, grapefruit, and a light spiciness. Tropical passion fruit is forefront with some earthy wet-hay barnyard Brett funk. Bright lemon zest opens up to some stone and tropical fruit—so much gorgeous Brett flavor.”

Overall: “Very refreshing. Light, dry, tart, and fruity with a supporting funky complexity. A very delicious, crushable, funky saison that uses a very light malt bill and well-selected hops to paint a beautiful canvas of Brett complexity. Extremely drinkable and endearingly complex, with a perfect finish.”
