Jun 27, 2009 Two year old 750. Cloudy, golden orange with a nice fluffy head. Subtle, funky aroma. Light and balanced with lemon, tangerine, pear, apricot, and cherries in a smooth, sour, grassy concoction. Age performs wonders.

Jun 27, 2009 The aroma is of sweet fruits, citrus, some cherry. Flavor is a little bit less interesting, sweet fruits. Not bad.

Jun 26, 2009 Bottle courtesy of fun-haver (gunhaver). This batch 1 brew pours hazy apricot with almost no head. The aroma is fruity with pears, smooth ripe cherries, boysenberries and a bit of tart and funk. The taste is fruity with apples, berries, faint tartness and a sense of earthy funkiness. Nice.

Jun 26, 2009 Hazed orange pour and a foamy white head. Sweet acidic lemon aroma. Taste is a bit toned down from the aroma not quite having as much sour aspects to it; but is somewhat tart. Very crisp beer with a clean finish.

Jun 8, 2009 750ml bottle that is well over a year old, was there only one bottling of this? Holy hell... watch your face when opening. I barely had the cage off when the cork exploded at high velocity and knocked paint off the ceiling. Pours a slightly hazy glowing yellow gold with a big white rocky foamy head. Aroma is lightly sweet fruity and botanical, touches of brett and alcohol. Flavor follows aroma, lightly sweet cereal, just a touch sour and spicy, either from the ginger, brett or both, alcohol sometimes detectable, very dry bitter hop finish. Medium/light bodied with corse uniform smaller carbonation, slightly milky.

Jun 7, 2009 Tasting thanks to Butter 3rd Cellar Reduction. Bring the funk. Tart lemon juice. Fresh ginger. Much better the last time I had it. This bottle is about a year old. So maybe some bottle age helps. Its really rounded out. Much better balance. It gone from a no to a recommendation in my book.

Jun 7, 2009 Bottle shared at the 6th Cellar Reduction. Pours a hazy golden straw with large white head. Nose is tart, citrus, bready yeast. Flavor is nice lemony with a good refreshing effervescence. Very good example of style.

Jun 7, 2009 Pours a cloudy orange with white head. Sour/lemon tarty aroma with some citrus, grass. Very earthy and funky. Lemon tart up front leads way to a creamy citrus finish. Very smooth finish for a saison.
