Apricot Farmette

◎ Appearance

Pale gold to light amber in color, with excellent clarity and a delicate white head that builds fine lacing on the glass. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a soft, pillowy texture characteristic of the saison style.

◌ Aroma

Stone fruit leads immediately—ripe peach and apricot from fresh orchards—layered with subtle clove and a faint floral note from the French saison yeast. Beneath sits a quiet graham cracker maltiness and a whisper of funkiness from the Brettanomyces, adding complexity without dominating the nose.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with sweet stone fruit and a gentle tartness from the Lactobacillus, balanced against a light graham cracker maltiness. Mid-palate reveals integrated oak and a creeping spice from clove and yeast, while the finish dries progressively with a lingering peppery quality and subtle fruit acidity.

◑ Finish

Crisp and relatively dry, with a clove-forward aftertaste that persists for several minutes. The wild microbes and oak create a sophisticated, evolving goodbye rather than a simple fade.
