Bottle. Not wHat I expected. First, it pours with a draker color than a regular saison, almost orange. Also, there is a finish thta is not saison like. It is bitter, spicy almost like cough syrup, not bad but very unexpected. I got more into it as I finsihed the bottle, but unlike most saisons that go well with spicy foods this one clashed. So it is an interesting beer with hard to decribe flavor notes that overpower the funkiness that is also there.

Oct 4, 2008 Lots of yeast in the aroma. After sitting awhile in my basement, it still pours a very nice head. Golden. Much golder than I expected. Bit funky in the taste, which is nice. Not overwhelming. Also some sweetness. Probably too sour and funky for my wife, but just right for me. Nice. I kept forgetting I had this one, and today I remembered to pull it. Just in time for the Mizzou game.

Sep 21, 2008 750ml bottle shared with Axilla. Poured golden with amber hues with medium sized beige head. Aroma of yeast, light funk (brett), sweet malt. Taste is earthy, floral, citrus, straw with some increasing funky notes as it mellows. At first it came across like artificial sweetener, but that taste faded as it mellowed. Not bad.
