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.

Maple colored pour with lots of carbonation and a thick, bubbly head. Aroma holds lots of spice, brett, tarragon, a bit of mint, and even some leather, probably from earthy hops. Ommegang’s regular yeast is also evident, though secondary to the brett on the nose. Flavor is quite nice; lots of brett, herbs, and dark spices like clove. Floral notes too; not a lot of sweetness, but i really dig it. Really nice palate from the brett, great brew.

This corked and caged bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a large sized head of foamy white colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a slightly hazy typically carbonated yellow colored body. The aroma was hoppy malty lemmon like and mildly floral. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of malt sour and tart. An OK brew just nothing special.

Sampled at DØE Beerfestival 2009, Valby. Pours an unclear yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is fruits with notes of esters. The flavor is likewise fruit with a little alcohol. The palate is sweet, and overall this is a very sweet beer.

Batch 2. Clear golden-yellow, fluffy white head. Aroma is musty, barnyard brett, lemons, oranges, sweet maltiness. Taste is sweet, pale malts, light but drying brett funk in the finish. Seems a little too sweet despite the brett.

鼮ml batch 2 March 2008 thanks to ballewblake) Pours a hazy pale yellow with a foamy head that lingers around. Nose is lemon zest, sour, earthy, and a mild funkiness. Tastes quite lemony, sour, brett. Finishes dry with a very fine carbonation, and the funk lingers around in the mouth a while too.
