Side Project Brewing à la Table
What the brewers say
“Fermented with wild Missouri yeast and our house saison blend before being aged in Missouri oak for several months, then naturally conditioned.”
What our panel thought
“Lively aroma with hints of stone fruit, citrus, leather, tart cherry pie, and wet hay gives way to a subtle and gentle flavor profile equal parts refreshing and crisp. An initial blast of nectarine-like acidity with hints of chardonnay grape quickly fades into a soft, thin, crisp body that slowly fades into nothingness … in a good way. Just enough tartness and complexity to inspire another glass—sessionable funk.”
What our editors thought
“Subtle peach and white-blossom notes structure a light nose with just a bit of leaf-pile earthiness. The sip brings a bold lemony tartness a bit out of balance with the light body, but intensely flavorful despite the low ABV. Prickles the tongue with the sharp acidity and bright carb.”
