3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Tap at Bailey’s Range in Downtown st Louis June 2012-pours hazy dark yellow with a fizzy large bubbled white smooth head. Wow, thats a different nose-lemons, GOP, funk, slight hay/barnyard character. flavors show the hay/barnyard and GOP quite well. Long lemony dry finish. lingering GOP long into the finish. damn, this is a very dry brett beer. The brett character isnt huge in this beer, say like a Rayon Vert, but this is probably the most sessionable brett beer i have ever had. well done 2nd shift!
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 11/20
Strong nose of brett. Pours a cloudy straw yellow. Slight sour on the tip of the tongue but it disappears much to fast. Sour replaced by a mediocre farm house flavor.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours yellow / golden with a modest white head. The aroma has light funk, sharpness, hints of chardonnay, dry grapes and acidity. It has a medium crisp body with lots of frothy sharp carbonation. The flavor begins with some brett funk, pale malt, pepper, oakiness, bugs, lemon and chardonnay. The finish is dry, crisp and has some light fruitiness. Excellent saison from 2nd shift.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pour is a cider lookalike with a fizzy white head. Aroma is lots of funk, white wine and lemon juice. Flavor is bretty with some citrus and a palate cleaning chalky malt. Not overly sour or bretty but just enough to make it above par.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Guest tap at Perennial. Pours a cloudy pale yellow-gold color with a small bone white head. Aroma of grapes, dry and bready malts, straw, farmhouse funk, lemon citrus, and a little yogurt. The flavor follows suit but doesn’t quite come across as crisp and fresh as the nose. Light-bodied, with a dry, funky mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Really nice bretty saison. Could drink this one all day.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sampled at an esbls tasting. Hazy straw golden. A nose that is sour, funky, fruity, and yeasty. Some lemongrass. A thin feel and almost no carbonation. Subtlevlemon flavors, grass. This is long on refreshing if short on flavor. It is a nice summer beer.
