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.

Bottle at a year plus.

Very tangy, brett-driven saison; plenty of citrus as well. Better than I expected and certainly above the bar for anything else I’ve had from the brewery. Still, balance isn’t the name of the game here and (perhaps unfairly) I find myself comparing it Orval, against which it simply cannot match up.

Pretty good saison from the ’gang. Golden color with a white head. Aroma is fairly sour and funky with malts, yeast, and earth. Flavor is fruity and wild like a saison should be. Noticeable brettanomyces sourness and alcohol. Farmy in a good way. Medium-body with considerable carbonation and a dry finish.

Bottle. Nose-dog food, muted, dog, cottony, light white spices, very good despite the oddness. Not a lot of funk, low hops, sticky, sweetens as it warms, perfect mix of dryness, fruit, and brett. Excellent.
