About This Beer

To create it, they blended six different oak-aged Saison-style brews, each boasting a puckering tangy tartness and nuances of rustic funk from the wild yeasts native to their Missouri farm. Then, they aged the beer in wine barrels for over a year, imparting mild oaky flavors and a touch of vinous grape. An addition of apricots during aging creates bright, jammy stone fruit flavors.

Tasting Notes

Pop open a bottle and it’s like you’re sitting on a hilltop at sunset, letting the evening breeze awaken your senses — it’s the essence of a time and place, expertly captured in a bottle. On the palate, it’s like biting into a freshly picked apricot with a bright, lemony finish.

just a hint of sour in this saison. loved sharing it with beer folks. apricot stood its place, not too powerful and not too weak. well placed fruit against the barrel aged base beer. masterful by the standards of the day; wish I had another bottle to cellar

Nose: lemon acidity, apricot, hint of funk. Taste: round soft acidity, bright apricot and subtle sweetness. Hints of oak in the background.

Reminds me of that time that I dove into a swimming pool filled with fresh apricots. Because I had an apricot beer that day that tasted kind of similar to this.
