Fair State BFD#/ Barrel Fermented Du Pounde. ABV: 5.2%, IBU: 25, OG: 11.2, 750 ml of beer, brewed and bottled by Fair State Brewing Cooperative, Minneapolis (and St. Paul), MN.
Clear, bright golden hue, slim, soon-gone head. Not especially impressive, but is what is.
In the nose: white wine and vinegar, sharp and sour, funk and more funk.
In the mouth: more funk, more funk, more funk. A touch of sweet, and a ton of sour. Sour, sharp, slightly sweet, utterly delightful. Light bodied, low hop bitterness.
Tart 'n' sour 'n' fruity. Nice. Terrifically acidic, and quite refreshing.
Barrel-fermented Du Pounde is the mixed-culture, oak-fermented version of our flagship saison. Historically, saison would have been skewed toward the very bitter or the noticeably sour, depending on wort composition and fermentation. Brewed with malted wheat and barley and lightly hopped, this version is tart, funky and oaky. BFD# is a blend of our favorite barrels from the cellar.
