ClarkVV (13468) - Boston, Massachusetts, USA - SEP 21, 2023UPDATED: SEP 21, 2023 750mL bottle, blend #6, drunk 9/21/23.
Pours an unfiltered, deep maize-copper-golden. Massively carbonated, producing a staunch, frothy, off-white head.
I can smell this stuff, through this initial 6 inch head almost across the room. Thankfully, it's much more Brett-driven, with stone fruit and mellower lactic acidity, than some of their other stuff (like CdC) and I don't get much, if any, acetic character. Very fruity, aromatic, clean and well-structured with heavy mineral, moderate wood/oak and lightly fruity, gentle wine character from barrel.
Woody, fruity, with gentle white wine suggestions and massive amounts of mineral. Soft, deep malts with good attenuation, provide plentiful honey-like character. Healthy mix of stone fruit-like Brett character, with tropical hints, and juicy, tart lactic acidity that isn't too punchy. Acetic acid is not present, or low enough to not take part in the flavor. No heavy barrel tannin. This is bright, malty, refreshing and complex with a lovely mineral and fruit character and not overdone on the wine aspect. The bigger body, bolder acidity and higher abv move it away from a more traditional saison, but it's still charming and interesting in its own right. So strange how different and variable SP's saisons are.

Aroma of mixed citrus, tart white grape, pit fruit esters, wet wood, hay, touch of wine and moderate funk. Flavour is moderately sweet and moderately tart. Smooth pit fruit esters, nectarines, touches of citrus, tart white wine, balanced oak, rounded and almost creamy. Lightly sulphurous funk. Long deep tart fruity aftertaste.
