Curse of Knowledge is a barrel-fermented, barrel-aged blended farmhouse saison with brett. Spice and more delicate herbal, fruity and floral elements are rounded by its relationship with wine. Effortlessly drinkable, assumingly complex. Inspired by the farmhouse saisons of old, Curse of Knowledge is brewed with a house blend of several saison yeast and brett strains, and aged in red wine barrels for six months before blending. It is dry hopped with two french hop varieties, strisselspalt and mistral. Curse of Knowledge pours golden and slightly hazy, with ample foam. Spice and herbal aromas come together with fruity notes of pear, rounded by a wine-like element. Its mild saison flavours are spicy and floral, with tanginess, restrained bitterness and more wine. The body is light, with ample carbonation adding to the fullness of the beer. The finish is bone-dry and mildly bitter, with lingering tannins.

Slight hazed golden colour with a fizzy white head that does not stay too long and lacing is minimal. Brett nose for sure - earthy and vinegary. Hints of pear. The taste is interesting with the Bretty notes and the Saison touch. Gets hazier. Apple cider vinegar flavours and mild tartiness in the finish. Kind of tired of the whole Brett thing, and was really wishing for a real Saison. Or at least more of the Saison style in this one. Still, very well-brewed.
