fordest (1655), Santee/San Diego, California, USA May 10, 2007 One of my favorites from the Port 1st Anniv Party. Sweet earthy aromas. spicy too. Flavors were very similar with more spice and more floral notes than in the aromas. Very nice finish. Bartzilla (379), San Diego, California, USA May 7, 2007 This was easily my favorite from the Anniversary party. I like a gently brett’d ale and this seemed to have the perfect balance of saison and sour going on. Works very well. Starts spicy and finishes sour, making you clamor for more. I wish this were a fully rotational offering. IrishBoy (2013), Bakersfield, California, USA Nov 15, 2006 Draft at the Bistro’s Barrel-Aged Beer Fest 11/11/06 Nose of vanilla, light caramel, light barnyard, and tartness; Gold with a small white head; Flavor of vanilla, yeast, and caramel malts in a medium body with a tart finish. kkearn (590), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 7, 2007 Draft, sampled at Monk’s Cafe Lost Abbey dinner 2/6/07. We tried this alongside the bottled Avant Garde. Hazy golden amber color; darker and less carbonated than the Avant Garde. Minimal white head. Subdued aroma, with fruits and a bit of wood. The oak and vinous flavors build nicely on the base beer. Sweet-tart finish. very delicious. aspidites (1268), manteca, California, USA Apr 15, 2007 Vanilla, oak and white fruit nose. Honey apricots and pineapple are fairly prominent on the palate. Woodsy and delicate finish.
