Commercial Description:
Our gold-medal winning Saison (Mondial de la Biere, Montreal, 2008) was the inspiration for this limited edition ale. We brewed a slightly stronger version that was then dry hopped, followed by bottle conditioning with various yeasts, including Brettanomyces, a wild strain that imparts an earthy quality. Though this farmhouse ale is given three months of bottle age prior to release, further cellaring will continue to enhance the "Brett" character if that’s what you’re after.

Pours gold into the glass with a white head and lots of carbonation coming up from the bottom. Aroma is somewhat funky with some grass and hay. Flavor is spicy. Malt is light and bready. Alcohol well hidden. Great body.

Cloudy orange, big frothy white head. Aroma of citrus zest, spicey yeast, bread. Taste is funky with citrus and yeast. Earthy bitterness, not overly sweet or sour. Light body, soft carbonation. Very delicate.

Pours light gold but really yellow in color. Smells like fresh twigs, yeast, and funk. Very earthy. Tastes like ginger, cardamom, and black pepper. Citrus flavors of course as well. Lemon and bitter orange.

Pours a lacing eggshell white head with a straw golden body containing particulates. Aromas of lemongrass and yeast. Flavor is dough, yeast, lemongrass, hint of spice. Body is creamy and smooth. Some bitterness on the finish.

The purest expression of brett in a beer I have had, it totally takes over with its dry hay and horseblanket. Still some very light sweetness - room for even more brett? Madness! A brett-head’s dream.

Bottle: Poured a cloudy dark yellow color ale with a super huge foamy head with great retention and some great lacing as well. Aroma of fruity ester with lightly sweet malt and some dry Brett notes. Taste is also a well balanced mix between some lightly sweet malt with fruity ester and a dry Brett finish. Body is quite full with perfect carbonation and no apparent alcohol even though it is starting to feel like 8.9% after more then one glass. Well made though a tad too sweet for my taste.

Pours a cloudy yellow with a huge four fingered head. Smells like a barnyard with sweet aromas of coriander. Flavor is very earthy and dry with hints of lavender. Highly carbonated. Interesting, but not the best saison.

In the bottle at the 2008 Crescent Moon Summer Beer Fest. Pours bright yellow with a poofy white head that reduces to a thin cover. Slight sulpher aroma. Tastes like the regular Saison by Boulevard. I get no notes of Brett. It’s more sweet than sour as I expected more tartness but only taste some lemon. Lots of sulfer to the finish, has a residual nice bitterness.
