Commercial Description:
Interlude- somewhere between the leap and the landing. It’s a jazz solo, the riffing, the unexpected improvisation. Rooted in a Belgian theme, Interlude soars from a second fermentation with our own Brettanomyces yeast. Then takes five in French oak wine barrels that once cellared fine Merlots and Sirahs. And then bottle conditioning. In all, an outrageous effort to make a bottle of beer. But then, if you prefer to swing with magnificent red wine notes and funky farmhouse flavors dancing in the undercurrents of a crisp, remarkable brew, then Interlude has that thing. C’est le gout, toujours! It’s the taste that is always an adventure.

Cask@GBBF, 2009. Light brown/dark bronze beer with a small head. The aroma is lightly sour fruit, and the flavour is bready, bitter and lightly sour. Overall a palatable gently sour and yeasty beer.

Cask, gravity, at GBBF ’09. American Beer of the Festival for me. Hazy copper colour. Sour woody aroma, but the taste is beguilingly sweet and fruity with slight astringency. Some dryness. This was the beer I wanted at that moment: full of alcohol but intensely approachable and friendly.

Cask@GBBF. A bit murky amber color, not much head. Sour grapefruit nose. Very tart, grapefruit, lime, some strawberries too. Intensive beer. Nice alcoholic, a bit sweet, tart and hoppy aftertaste.

Draught at GBBF 2009. A hazy red ale with a slight head. Oak, fruity, sour taste/aroma. I was guzzling Allagash beers almost daily during my vacation in Maine a few years back but this one is not really my thing.

2008 bottle. Oh man. This is a lovely reddish ale with just a touch of sour. Wine-ish taste. Cherry lingers. Sugar candy in the background. Lots of oak. Fantastic.

Pouring from a cask at BCTC. Pours a hazy near still brown with a thin white head. Sweet caramel and light brett on the nose. Light wine notes. Light bitter cherry finish. This stuff was unbelievably tasty.

2008 bottle. Pours orange with beige head. The aroma is obvious oak with some slight brett, some peach, yeast, and a few peppery hints. The flavor is also quite oaky with some pepper and farminess. Peach and toast notes are in there, too, as is a bit of a dry vinous note. The finish is pleasingly dry. Quite a good beer.

tap at the monk. clear orange body with a sour apple aroma. really strong, bitter taste from the alcohol paired with the typical sour notes. Super bitter.
