Laissez — Brett Ale with Cab Sauv
Oenobeer Wine-Beer Hybrid • Tart • Red Grape • Mineral • 7.4% abv
This single strain Brett ale is tart and full-bodied with a beautiful pink hue and fruit notes of red grape, berry and apple with a slight acidity and minerality. Brett forward with vanilla and tannins from the red wine barrels.
Made with Texas-grown and malted American pilsner malt and unmalted wheat from Black lands Malt, house-aged whole cone hops, and Vista’s own limestone-filtered well water.
It spent 12 months in freshly-emptied, 100% Touriga Nacional red wine barrels from Lewis Wines with a Brettanomyces Trois yeast strain
Laissez Faire is a French phrase meaning “let things take their own course, without interfering.” We proudly take that approach in our barrel program, letting the beer tell us when it’s ready.
