3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 PhillyCraft (1970) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 10, 2012Bottle. Pours a golden yellow with zero head and spotty lacing. Nose is orange peel, salty ham, honey, lemongrass. Taste is pepper, earthy farmhouse notes, spicy grains, and white wine. This was a decent saison from a brewer whose quality is sure to fall off due to the recent acquisition by Anheuser-Busch. Try them while you can. Note: quality hasn’t fallen off yet.

765 ml bottle from LCBO. Pours a cloudy, straw yellow with lasting white head. Aroma is funky yeast with zesty citrus, bread and spice. Flavour is quite fruity with pear, white grape, tropical fruit and orange peel, underlying funk and some gentle spiciness. Lively carbonation. Very nice.

750 mL bottle. Pours a hazy straw color with a foamy white head. Aromas of curacao, bell pepper, biscuit and tropical fruit. A touch of sweetness backed by lacto sourness, vegetal hop and a lightly oaky finish. High carbonation with a champagne like mouth feel. Delightfully refreshing and pleasantly complex.

Right one the bottle is opened, tons of brett aroma coming through on the nose. On closer inspection, get some mild malt sweetness, the orange peel and spice. Appearance is quite interesting, looks quite unique -- almost like carbonated pineapple juice. Head is very thin and frothy. Taste is delicious, quite sour upfront, spice in the middle and a clean finish with a hint of Belgian yeast. Don’t get much of the advertised oak barrel, but maybe I’m just comparing this to the Dulcis Succubus. Medium bodied, highly carbonated and highly refreshing.
