Commercial Description:
Interlude- somewhere between the leap and the landing. It’s a jazz solo, the riffing, the unexpected improvisation. Rooted in a Belgian theme, Interlude soars from a second fermentation with our own Brettanomyces yeast. Then takes five in French oak wine barrels that once cellared fine Merlots and Sirahs. And then bottle conditioning. In all, an outrageous effort to make a bottle of beer. But then, if you prefer to swing with magnificent red wine notes and funky farmhouse flavors dancing in the undercurrents of a crisp, remarkable brew, then Interlude has that thing. C’est le gout, toujours! It’s the taste that is always an adventure.

January 2007 corked and caged bottle. Poured an off-white fizzy head that mostly diminished, fair amount of lacing, hazy, orange-golden hue, and visible carbonation. Nose was oak, fruity, spicy and clove. Flavor was fruity, spicy, sweet and vinuous. Mouthfeel had a slight burning sensation. Medium body. A sipping beer for sure and one that I’ll partake in again if the opportunity should arise.

750ml bottle from kmweaver. 2006. Aroma: Light bready maltiness, peppery spice, grapey/vinous, subtle woodiness, and some nice brett notes. Appearance: Amber/orange in color and slightly hazed. Off-white head was full and foamy with good retention. Good lacing. Flavor: Slightly sweet bready maltiness with a light caramel note. Peppery, apples and grapes, Vinous, light toasted oak. Some musty brett notes and a light sourness that helps balance the sweetness. Some earthy hop notes into the finish. Medium-light bitterness and a dry finish. Palate: Medium bodied. Medium-high carbonation. Light alcohol warming in back of mouth. Overall: Very nice. Everything flowed together well in this one. Neither the brett or oak overpowered the other flavors. Great beer.

Bottle. Hazy golden colour with a huge white head. Aroma oak, wood, sourness and grapefruit. Also flavour of grapefruit, oak and ends up sour and acid, in a good way for some.

Interlude makes a cloudy concoction of grapefruit with a thin rocky head, like mold floating on a cigarette-laden rainwater ashtray. The fruit and vinegar aroma is very pleasant. It promises of a crisp and fruit body with alcohol highlights. The initial taste is a carbonated swig of liquid Juicy Fruit. The second taste, the one where you swish it around and really savor it, has an apple cider and vinegar flavor that is a bit disappointing. This is a nice solid beer but the slightly vinegar taste is not my style.
