Lafayette Brett (White Labs Saccharomyces Trois, Pre-2015)

Lafayette Brett is a pale ale fermented 100% in stainless with Brettanomyces Bruxellensis Trois. It is not sour, but the tropical flavors from the yeast meld with the dramatic citrus notes from the hops. Lafayette Brett is an exploration of how yeast can positively influence the effects of hops.

UNTIL MAY 2015, LAFAYETTE BRETT WAS BREWED WITH WHITE LABS WLP 644. GIVEN THAT 644 WAS RECLASSIFIED AS WILD SACCHAROMYCES INSTEAD OF BRETTANOMYCES, IT SEEMED A BIT DISINGENUOUS TO KEEP CALLING IT LAFAYETTE BRETT IF WE KEPT USING THAT YEAST. THE NEXT SEVERAL BATCHES OF LAFAYETTE BRETT WILL BE BREWED WITH VARIOUS BRETT STRAINS TO DIAL IN THE SPECIFIC FRUITY BRETT PROFILE WE ARE LOOKING FOR. BOTTLES FROM EACH BATCH WILL BE LABELED WITH THE SPECIFIC BRETT STRAIN(S) USED.
