Bottle thanks to Nick. Pours a golden orange. Slightly hazy. Dense billowy brilliant white head. Earthy funking aromas, coupled with some wheat malt and a little light orange. Very clean / clear brett aromas most definately present. Great stuff. Flavours are a little sweet before a decent dry finish. Bloody good beer.

Poured a yellowish crimson-gold-tone. Smells immediately of dandelions, wheat flour, burnt plastic (but in a good way!), and white wine yeast. Tastes are very frequent in their similarity however the hops are sure and delicate yet strong and quite noticeable. Also some orange peel zest by mid-palate; sour cheese, pancake cough, resinated funk, and hay. Pretty tasty all and all. Not my favorite Saison but in all likelihood I’m probably not going to find one this good unless I trade heavily.

Kinda gushed, golden huge white head nice lacing... lightly sweet quite a bit bretty, lightly spiced, yeasty... yeasty for days... belgian fruity bretty peppery not very lively medium body dry...

Really enjoyable saison. Great billowy head and golden color. Aroma is funky earthy citrus and funk. Taste is crisp dry and very refreshing with a lightly funky backbone. Loved it.

awesome beer, hoppier than i would have anticipated which is awesome, big time brett flavors, i havent had one like this in a while. Awesome beer!

09 bottle...pours a hazy orange with a huge foamy white head...great retention and lacing. Aroma has light leather and spice with faint citrus and brett notes. Flavor is musty and leathery with fading spices...nice and dry with a hint of pineyness. Mouthfeel is light and very lively with a dry spiced leather finish.

From notes. Popped out the cork and the bottle started to foam immediately. Poured about 5oz or so and got about four fingers of white rocky head that hung around for about five minutes until there was nothing left but a mound of head in the middle of the glass. Aroma is tart and and earthy funk with bready notes, a little citrus and a slight metallic aroma. Taste has some citrus with lots of yeasty characteristics, and a tiny bit of fruitiness. Great mouthfeel. Nice and sticky it keeps the the flavor around. Medium carbonation with a very smooth finish.

2011 bottle number 22414. Opened with a big pop of the cork and poured a dark golden color with a half a glass of white foamy head. Aroma has lemon rind, brett, mild funk, some sweetness, and faint spice. mouth feel is light and there is high carbonation. Flavor has brett, light tartness, lemon, wheat, sweet fruit shines in from time to time, and there is a light spice. The nose is nice and bright but in the flavor the brett over runs some of it. Very interesting to drink and tasty.

2011 version, bottle 09194. A bit overly powerful on the head, using a tall glass the head was more than half, even with an easy pour. Yellow-tan and a bit hazy. Tons of carbonation. Funky sweet yeasty and very spicy, quite tasty, it’s no wonder this one is popular in brett lovers circles. Quite a kick, although it’s subtle at first and hits you hard about half way through the bottle. Highly recommended.

Good quality beer. Thin head. High alcohol but drinkable. Thanks Ruhlman.
