COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Saison du Fermier is a Chardonnay barrel-fermented Saison. It is the harmony of new and old. It is robust and has the paler color of modern Saisons, yet it is balanced with the brightness, depth and rustic character of Brettanomyces and Lactobacillus found in traditional Saisons. This farmhouse ale was fermented in and aged in wine barrels for several months.

ClarkVV (13468) - Boston, Massachusetts, USA - SEP 21, 2023
UPDATED: 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.

neongolden (4394) - Quebec City, Quebec, CANADA - APR 28, 2019
UPDATED: APR 28, 2019 (750ml Blend 2 bottle @ Nische's tasting, thanks Werckmeister!) Hazy bright gold pour with a solid white head. 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. Medium bodied and plush with soft carb. Really lovely elegant saison, complex and balance without the runaway acidity of some SP beers. Highly drinkable.
