Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a lightly hazed golden hued body with a small white head that lasts. Aromas are musty, honey, biscuity, malty, elderflowers, vanillin, medium phenol (pepper), mild funk. Flavors are sour, orange peel, mild oak like character, black pepper, fruity, funky, grassy, and floral. Lively bubbles, dry and almost a touch crisp. Good.

Bottled shared at bu11zeye’s 10,000th rating tasting. The beer pours a golden yellow color with a small white head. The aroma has a lot of wheat and Belgian yeast notes, as well as some light funk and something that resembles pickles. The flavor is similar. There is a hint of vinegar that that once again reminds me of pickles, as well as some light funk and some wheat and tartness. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

A pale golden color with a solid white head. Sweet malt notes up front followed by lemon peel and a moderate lactic tartness. Very nice white grape and grass aromas, too. Surprisingly tropical with a bit of yeast. The flavor is great as well. Nice intense fruit (pineapple, lemon, grape, and orange) with hints of black pepper, spice, and sweet malt.

750ml bottle at Fantome-a-thon 2012.

Pours clear yellow, white-ish head, low retention. I’m surprised by how clear this beer is. The aroma is real funky and bretty, lots of tropical fruits, a touch of barnyard, and some pepper. The flavor is even more involved. Pineapple, pepper, brett, a touch of lactic acid, tangerine, great beer. After trying all 16 Santes (1-15 and the special version of 11) this was the best, for me anyway.

bottle, from bu11zeye 10k, yellow hazy pour with lots of fruity oregano and herb, citrus and grass

Bottle from bu11zeye. Light yellow pour with no head. Aroma is faint, tart fruit, grass, and light funk. Taste is a little sour, sour grapes, tart citrus, and yeasty.

(750ml bottle) Pours a clear yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of urine, butter, grapefruit, earth, grass, and florals. Less pungent and more pleasant as it warms. Flavor grapefruit, lemon, earth, peach, yeast, and white grapes.

(750ml bottle thanks to bu11zeye) clearish gold, few bubbles. Nose of wet wood, funky, wet barrel, white wine and grapes. Taste of lightly tart grapes, wheat, a bit thin but pretty interesting in flavor, and really refreshing. I like this a lot! Reminds me of a berliner.

Golden in color with a small white head. Aroma is of hay, light herbal hops, light funk that slowly fades as the beer sits. The aroma turns to sweeter malt notes and lightly floral. Taste is of citrus, peach skin, light funk, and a hint of earth.
