3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Saison-Brett pours a huge huge head. Everytime i poured a new glass of this stuff all I got mostly was head. Huge foamy, bubble filled head like the one you see in the glass. Lacing everywhere. The color is a very hazy light orange color. The aroma on this Saison is really really nice and inviting. A tiny of bit of funk. Not overwhelming like some other beers dosed with Brett. Actually everything in the smell was light. Small amount of lemon peel and spice. Nice background of yeast and an slight earthy aroma. Really nice.
Now what I didn’t pick up with the smell was a nice fruity presense. It’s here in the taste though. Lemon, citrus, and mango. The tartness and funk are there but like in the smell it’s very smell. It just adds to the taste and doesn’t try to take over. I actually wish it was would of had a little bit more of a role in the taste. Yeasty with a pale malt background. The taste is nice but it’s also very light.
The mouthfeel is nicely carbonated. Light to medium bodied. Crisp with a dry finish.

Snifter. it pours unclear body with huge uncontrollable head. the aroma is very acidic and alcoholic, there is lots of pineapple and guayaba. The taste is in the medium range at first is citrusy bitter with a smooth and creamy texture as I wash my mouth.Lots of carbonation.Note: when the first sip the beer reminded me of tepache a drink that my mom used to make out of pineapple peel. the pineapple peel will ferment with water for 2 weeks and then mix with brown sugar. freakin awsome!
