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 courtesy Redlight. Light yellow pour. Big sour apple vinegar aroma. Not as sour a taste, very malty apple flavor, slightly tart. Very refreshing and fruity and hints of spices, I found it tasty.

Pour is a cloudy orange with floaters. Puffy head sits at about 6mm and the carbonation constantly bubbling keeps it there. Smells very fruity, almost like an orange. Flavor is bitter fruits and yeast. Good mouthfeel. Lacing is decent. A different, but solid, brew.

Like the label says funky...in a good way if your into that. Hazy gold color. not sour enough. mild spicy flavors. It tasted watered down to me.

Bottled March 2008, batch number two, One Pint 9.4 oz. Opens with minimal carbonation. Pours a clear golden color with foamy white head. Huge bubbles. Right out of the bottle it has an unfortunate smell reminiscent of dish soap. That vanishes after the beer is left to breath for a few minutes in the open air. There comes a funkiness that tames the clash on the palate between Brett and dry hops; they mellow at the touch of fresh air. I could definitely enjoy this one on a hot summer day.

Batch 1, aged 18 months. Very hazy golden pour with some chunklets of goodness. Earthy sweet honey was the dominant aroma, then yeast, and undertones of apricot, citrus, light spice, and mild brett. I did not find this very complex at all... no real brett funk; light hop characteristics and sweetness was the dominant flavor. I really like saisons, but this was throughly just okay.

Really complex, lots of flavors, tastes a lot "darker" than it looks. Nice heavy mouthfeel too, and packs a punch
