Commercial Description:
Up from the primordial depths of the mind comes an experiment in chaos and unpredictability...KEGS GONE WILD. Seemingly normal beers undergo a funk-tastic metamorphosis through the introduction of resident wild yeast. After six months or so these critters like Brettanomyces, Lactobacillus and pediococcis break down the residual sugars remaining in the beer transforming them into "quelque chose" (pronounced kel ka show) or "something else".

In short: A splendid wild, almost funky Saison. Give it a more lively carbonation and we have a masterpiece.
How: Tap at Bullfrog
The look: Cloudy blonde body with an initially big but short-lived white head
In long: Authentic Belgian Saison nose, slightly reminiscent of my beloved Saison Dupont. Taste is wild, almost bretty. Light honeyed cereals dancing in a barnyard with a light dry wood flavour (cedar or something like that). The Carbonation could have used some help though. Far from a lively Belgian carbonation so appropriate for the style this one had a small amount of very soft bubbles making the mouthfeel a bit lifeless despite the beer being almost funky. The more I drank it the more I got that dry tart after-taste reminiscent of a lambic. Man that thing was good, very good. And to think I was ordering some kind of pervert beer-geek DVD...

Murky golden yellow color with a white sticky head. Very pleasant nose of spicy fruit and light funky, peppery lactobacillus, with a smaller note of brettanomyces. Flavor is tart, prickly, spritzy much like a soda, fruity, peppery, mildly sweet and juicy as well, especially in the finish. A very much improved beer over the regular Busted Lawnmower Saison.
