A Note on This Beer
Rated on Untappd as the #4 top rated brewery in the entire world, Side Project has created an aura of desirability with complex, barrel-aged Saisons that every collector wants a piece of! For Pete’s sake,they have 12 of the top 100 Saisons/Farmhouse Ales on BeerAdvocate - that’s unheard of!!! So if you’re one of the many wondering when Side Project is coming your way, this beer’s for you …
Today’s Marietta Ave. Blend #3 is aged for seven months in French Oak Pinot Noir puncheons to provide mellow oakiness and picking up subtle notes of sassafras and cherry from the wine remnants within the barrel.
This brew is ideal for pouring into a snifter to appreciate the light peachy fruitiness of Simcoe and Amarillo hops. With the farmhouse funkiness and vinous character from careful barrel-aging, this refreshing Saison is a Midwest hit. Marietta is begging for warm days drinking outdoors under a willow tree… seriously, go hunt down a willow tree.
Side Project’s mysterious brewing means this beer’s unique vinous Saison blend may never appear again so grab it before it’s gone. And don’t tell Missouri - they don’t know they’re sharing their stash with us.
