The aroma was light citrus, sweet sugar cookie, peppery spice and of course yeasty brett. Not hit you over the head with a snow shovel brett, just enough to make it interesting. Flavor was quite nice too. Good balance between citrus, sugar cookie, spice, earth and yeast. Dry, easy drinking mouthfeel. Very nice. Highly recommended. DA (2586), Portland, Oregon City, Oregon, USA Nov 30, 2008 Thanks to Tim for sending this brew. I really enjoyed the regular saison, so this was bound to be good. The bretts give a tart funkiness that amplifies the dryness of the beer. Lemon citrus notes to the finish along with a soft pepper dry spice character. The high carbonation really accentuated the esters and the bretts, keeping it all very crisp. eaglefan538 (2115), Wilmington, Delaware, USA Nov 29, 2008 Bottle courtesy of theisti, shared by me among the best at SL. Pour was pretty standard for a saison, off-white head was large and featured lively carbonation. The aroma was sweet fruity, caramel, slightly bready malts. The flavor followed, strong sweet malt base, light spicing and peppers in the finish, only faint dry-bretty type notes under an overwhelmingly sweet and malty base. I had to yield to slob’s unhappiness w.r.t. the level of Bret (its near absence), but I got more in there than he did, even if it was underwhelming. Either way, many thanks, Tim, for this fun brew and great opportunity. jjpm74 (3447), Connecticut, USA Nov 29, 2008 750ml bottle courtesy of mreusch. Pours gold with a nice white head. Smells funky and sweet/perfumy with some dry malt. Tastes of dry malt, perfumy, light tartness. Enjoyable.
