Saison Lo Terminal / WeirdBierre
An update from "Corking & Capping" below.
I redubbed this beer 'WeirdBierre' recently after I tried the first bottle. The first try was a capper, and then we uncorked the first corkable the other night. The corking seemed to work well. It had a nice 'pop' and I like having to take the wine key out for it. Anyway, back to the beer.
It's weird... Complex, almost 'multiple personality', in character. One minute I think one thing about it, and the next it has changed so much that I wonder what I was thinking the first time. At the very least I think that it will change favorably and greatly over a period of time. Uncorks with pop and visual 'smoke'. (I know it's not smoke, stupid!) Pours with plenty of head. It is dense and ever present with constant beads of CO2 to help keep it up. In fact the first one was so manic and constant with carbonation I thought that it was actually fermenting before my eyes. (Maybe it was!) Color is light gold with white head. The aroma is massively fruity. Maybe acetaldehyde, but definite cider character. Tutti Fruity. Some grainy malt. As it warms, the Brett funk becomes more obvious. At times it seemed more malty and other times more fruity. It's crazyweird. I'll try to elaborate on this bierre later when I have one in front of me. The labels are comin' soon, also. More on that later...
