Bet The Farm Fermata

Tap to rate

Bet The Farm Fermata is the foeder-aged version of the brewery's Continental pale: the base beer spends 13 months in oak with a mixed-fermentation culture and is then bottle conditioned. Tropical fruit leads on the nose, joined by a light hay-like funk and a vinous note that recalls white grape. The palate is gently tart and dry, with soft vanilla and oak tannin; the body is medium, the hopping delicate.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe tropical fruit—papaya and stone fruit—layered with a light hay-like funk characteristic of mixed fermentation. A subtle vinous quality emerges, recalling white grape skin and dry white wine minerality. Soft oak and vanilla undertones provide gentle woody warmth without dominance.

◐ Taste

The palate opens gently tart and dry, with the mixed fermentation's acidity well-integrated rather than sharp. Soft vanilla and fine oak tannins provide structure and subtle grip; the medium body carries these elements with balance and restraint. Delicate noble hop character offers finesse without assertiveness, allowing the foeder's complexity to breathe.
