tennisjoel (931), Shakopee, Minnesota, USA Nov 4, 2009 750 mL bottle. Great aroma of grassy fields, flowers, tart apples. Orange pour with a sufficient white puffy head. Dry taste with a sweet tart like flavor with other fruits integrated such as apricot, pineapple, and musk melon. Very easy drinking beer. Very good. I’m still a bit partial to Dupont Avec Les Bons Voeux, but this comes in at a close second. Mindblowingly good! joet (1699), Fulton, California, USA Nov 2, 2009 Drank a lot of this at GABF. grassy, spice, heather. hints of barn yard , off crisp texture and with light medium effervescence, aroma is full, YUM. boto (1319), Granby, Connecticut, USA Oct 29, 2009 750ml bottle: This one opened with a very loud "pop", but didn’t overflow at all. This one poured a hazy golden color. There was a large, fluffy head that leaves some nice lacing. The aroma is nicely balanced. Brett, pineapple, other fruits, earthy, some citrus, hint of spice. Interesting taste. The first thing that hits you is a bit of sourness, and then a little bitterness. Medium body. Earthiness, a little yeast, citrus among the other flavors. Nice! MartinT (5026), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Oct 25, 2009 My Bottom Line:
This Wild Ale’s expansive effervescence propels the coniferous brettanomyces through the straw-like cereals and pineapple subtleties for a world-class brew.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A slice of foam garnishes the misty bright golden.
-The brettanomyces and hops team up for a wonderfully minty, herbal display.
-There is no sign of the alcohol in this one.
-I still prefer the regular Saison to this one, but I can’t deny this is superbly executed and highly pleasurable.
Bottle. jcr (1134), Jasper, Indiana, USA Oct 23, 2009 750 ml. Hazy, deep golden body. Huge, white, frothy head, mostly lasting. The aroma is dominated by brett with its leathery/laquer smell along with some hints of barnyard and plastic band-aid There are notes of toasted grain, resin, lemon. The flavor is moderately sweet, moderately bitter and lightly acidic. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet, moderately bitter and moderately acidic. Medium body, watery texture that turns velvety in the finish, lively carbonation. The brett and bitter resin are most noticable, but there is sweet citrus in the background. Boulevard’s regular saison is better — more complex, better balanced probably because none of the outstanding aromas and flavors have to compete with the brett. This is still pretty good, though. Enjoyit (1695), Vadum, Denmark Oct 20, 2009 Unclear yellow of color with a white foamy head. An aroma of spice and nice dry.
