Pours cloudy orange with nice white foamy head that left a good dose of lacing in my tulip. Thought I had this before, but after looking back at my ratings it was the bretta. Nevertheless I like this one as well. Probably not quite as much as the bretta which is funny as I’m not a huge fan of sours. Cheese and musty aromas in the nose. Nice mouthfeel with a good dose of yeast and estery flavors along with some fruit and spice. Another fine brew from this producer.

750ml bottle. Rating #24. Hazy yellow/orange pour with a decent white head that left a nice bit of lacing. Light funk, sweet lemon and a little banana. Mild bitterness, more banana and citrus. Nice. (2363)

Cool bottle shared by someone at Beermongers, maybe DA. Thanks. Pours a cloudy orange color with a large white head. A sweet phenolic nose of banana and yeast. The flavor is very good; citrus, ripe fruit, dry earthy banana, lively, very full bodied. Good.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
In short: A true farmhouse rustic blonde ale. Excellent
How: Bottle 750ml, beige wax topped, consumed when approximately 6 months of age. Bottle sent to me by mcberko, thanks a lot Matt
The look: Cloudy blonde body topped by a large off-white head with good retention
In long: Nose is unmistakably uber-rustic Saison yeast with also countryside wild flowers, old dusty attic and such... This is truly “farmhouse”. Taste is fluffy rustic yeast, strong cobweb sensation (yes I know I have never actually eaten cobweb), pineapples, some candy-like sweetness that tastes like a mix of jelly beans and bubblegum, dry grass and a pleasant spiciness. This is a truly old-fashion farmhouse ale which is exactly what the brewer was aiming for. My wife was away visiting her family and this is one of the many many bombers I drank home lying on my couch, unshaved, in my dirty underwear while watching pro-wrestling on tv and scratching my balls, I’m not proud of the stuff I do when I’m alone home but fortunately for me the walls can’t talk and even more fortunately for me the walls in my bathroom can’t laugh.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
750 ml bottle; cloudy vibrant orange, thick eggy white head; grassy aromas with sweet orange, stale lemon, white sugar, dry wheat; very dry finish with fruity edge; stale lemon, bland wheat and a little dry yeast; not too much flavor as the the carb level is quite high and gives off a spritzy mouthfeel; not that complex to me and a little bit of a let down; dry, stale grass in the finish

I like this beer. It’s darned fruity from some kick ass yeast. A soft, velvety body, like an egg yolk. Super estery and just imagine any fruit you choose and you’ll catch a glimpse of it here.
