Barrel Aged Farmhouse Red (2016)

Barrel-aged Red Saison. A special saison blend from Artisan's unique Shiraz and Pinot barrels that have been enhanced with White Labs yeast. The classic apricot and spice characters of the Belgian Saison yeast have taken the back seat to the Brett-like funk characters of the WLP644. The clear amber-red colour and white head show well with the aroma of cherry and vanilla. The malt and fruit characters integrate well with the fine acidity and barrel flavours. The mouthfeel is medium, and finish is dry and lightly tannic. The complexity of the beer lingers long on the palate. Only 16 kegs produced. PRBS 17 Bronze Medal winner. Show Less
