Voila!

Tap to rate

The acidity of the brewery's mixed culture balances a Saison and barrel-forward character in this blend of foeder fermented mixed culture golden ales, aged 30 months in neutral wine barrels, and a 100% Brettanomyces fermented table beer aged 24 months in neutral wine barrels. It is more Brettanomyces-forward than the blends the brewery typically makes. 4.6% ABV.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Voila!

◎ Appearance

Voilà presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and fine, persistent carbonation that creates a delicate white head with good retention. The wine-barrel aging and extended maturation have produced a wine-like visual character—bright and translucent, with minimal particulate despite the mixed culture fermentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by tart, funky esters and complex Brett character—dried stone fruit, white pepper, and a subtle hay-like earthiness emerge first. Beneath these wild yeast signatures lies restrained oak influence from 30 months in neutral barrels, along with a gentle saison spice that suggests the underlying Brettanomyces table beer component.

◐ Taste

Dry and tart on entry, with a sharp acidity that frames the palate without overwhelming it. The mixed culture and Brett character deliver pronounced yeasty complexity—a dry, mineral quality develops midway through, balanced by gentle oak tannins and a persistent funkiness that suggests cellar character without becoming harsh.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and lingering, leaving a dry, slightly spicy aftertaste with residual funky notes. Acidity persists gently through the close, with no harsh bitterness despite the low IBU—a restrained, refined conclusion that invites another sip.
