Commercial Description:
Belgian pale & pilsner malts w/ Styrian Golding for bittering and Saaz for aroma. Ginger predominates the spicing. Fermented in primary with Ommegang's house yeast, followed by secondary with Brettanomyces bruxellensis. Dry-hopped in secondary w/ a blend of hops; Tettnang being the stand-out. The flavor profile is very herbal with an earthy undertone (very fitting for a Belgian-style farmhouse ale). The dry finish and pronounced hop aromas hide the 8% abv very well. Dangerously drinkable for its strength and character.

750ml bottle, Batch #1 - June ’07. Aroma takes a few sniffs to pull out some of the complexities, but once this is done reveals pale, dusty, sweet malts, leafy, herbal hops, lemon citrus, green apple, faint ginger, menthol and some musty, doughy yeast which is augmented by the light brett character here. Hazy light-medium golden color with a lasting, fine-bubbled head and spots of lacing. Flavor profile is very quickly sweet and fruity to begin, turning citric, mildly spicy and peppery, and finishing with a stronger suggestion of brett funk than indicated by the aroma, combined with a light dosage of bitterness and lingering dried, leafy, tea-like herbal tinges. Palate is dry and smoothly effervescent, body is medium-full. I seem to have warmed up to this stuff a bit over the course of the bottle, I suppose initially expecting something a tad more bombastic, I suppose (no pun intended).

750ml bottle from Holiday Wine Cellar. Marked Batch #1, June 2007. Pours cloudy yellow with a fluffy white head, some lace, and good retention. Smells sweet and bready with a big, somewhat funky sour smell, a little bit of lemon as well. Tastes slightly sour and funky, bready and malty and yeasty, slightly sweet. Medium bodied with vibrant carbonation.

Aroma is funk with some yest in there...its tastey with the brett coming out in the flavor for sure...Still its not as funky as a lot of saison’s which makes this beer very drinkable. I am not a huge fan of the style but this was pretty good

750ml - Aroma is spicy yeast, bread dough, lemon zest, subtle grassy hops and a touch of barnyard funk. Pours transparent gold with lots of bubbles rising to a medium head and great lacing. Flavor is initially doughy yeast followed by a quick zap of spice and brett tartness. Not too funky. Palate starts creamy and finishes sour. A tasty saison

750 ml bottle (batch 1) from Plaza Liquors - Pours a hazy light golden color with a one finger thick white head. Very little lacing. Aroma is esters and light yeast. Flavor is esters, yeast, and spice. I’m not getting much brett at this point. Medium body. This beer is quite smooth and enjoyable.
