330. Pours a slightly hazy, tawny and somewhat burnished medium amber with a loose and moderately foamy white head. Plenty of white foam sheeting coming down the sides. Great looking beer. Rich funky farmhouse erupts as soon as you crack the cap. Peppery, floral, herbal, minty, barnyardy, all swirled together in a sweaty saddle lambic funk saison that’s not quite like anything else you’ve ever laid nostrils on. This is definitely the kind of beer that leaves me with wet nose hairs and a stupefied look on my face. Creamy medium body with semi-active woolly carb. White pepper, mint, sage, hay, warm leather, and a little barnyard funk on the mid-palate. Mild peppery finish. Words are not gonna capture the offbeat synthesis this beer creates, they just won’t. Delicious.

Bottle Shared at Ryan & Max’s Tasting @ Pauls. Pours a hazy copper body with a white head. Acidic lemon and some lambic tones. Funky leather, horse blanket, burlap sack, funky cheese and lemon. Leather and floral notes, A nice blend.

Bottiglia da 75 cl. Versa un bel colore oro paglierino con abbondanza di minuscole bollicine. Una schiuma bianca che rapidamente scopare. L’aroma è aspro di frutta tropicale,buon malto dolce e un tocco di agrumi e una nota di miele.Il sapore è un pò più debole del previsto, ma molto piacevole di limone e un lieve nota di dolce,estremamente facile da bere e incredibilmente rinfrescante. I love this birra desidera ottenere maggiori era disponibile farebbe un grande birra sessione.Molto buono il giudizio complessivo

Bottle from smith4498, thanks!! Amber pour. Yeast, cracker, light funk and some spice. Flavor is lightly tart, pretty funky but not as sour as you might expect. Still a very interesting brew. A bit of herbal notes, spices, horse blanket and citrus.

Pours hazy hay color with white head. Barnyard funky aroma. Light flavor of citrus and funkiness. Not as sour as I was hoping. Light to medium body with soft carbonation and a dry finish.

Bottle. Pours a mostly clear, medium golden hue. A spongy head of off-white foam settles slowly to a thin film with a thick rim, leaving a wet wash behind to mostly rejoin the pool below. The aroma is very yeasty and bretty, showing a wild must and perfumy, wildflower spice amidst a soft malt base of grain and baked bread. Hints of lemongrass emerge, adding a bright, citrusy hop element, while white pepper and coriander lend further spice depth. The flavor does not disappoint. That same soft, grainy, bready malt base shows a mild sweetness, while the lemony, peppery grass hops add substantial, bittering balance. Lambic influence is subtle, from a tartness standpoint, but it brings that dry, woody brett note that I just love. Very earthy, yet bright at the same time. The palate is softly carbonated, initially round and creamy, finishing on the dry side. Man, this is a really good saison. I don’t think it will age very well, as the hop profile is one of its strong points, but fresh from the bottle, this stuff is pretty neat.

Bottle. Pours a beautiful cloudy straw gold with tons of tiny carbonation bubbles. A quick medium white head. Aroma is great slight funk tartness not over powering a nice tropical fruit good sweet malt and a tinge of bright citrus and a good honey note. i love it. Flavor is a bit weaker than expected but very nice slight lemon and a tiny tart funk extremly easy to drink and unbelievably refreshing. I love this beer wish more was available would make a great session beer
