May 1, 2008 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.

Apr 30, 2008 On tap at Tyler’s, Durham. Nice to try this while I have a couple 750s sitting in the cellar. It has indeed aged well and the brett is coming through nicely right now. A deep golden pour, with a thick and somewhat yeasty body/aroma. On the initial taste, the super-dry brett is fairly overpowering and the bitters are pretty intense. But as it warms and opens up, the complexity of the beer emerges along with some fruity characteristics and some earthy hops. Fine, fine stuff.

Apr 27, 2008 750 ml bottle purchased at Ommegang during BCTC. Pours a clear gold with a large frothy bright white head. The funkiness from the Brett in this one just isn’t working for me. The funk in the aroma reminds me of cheap public bathroom soap and has a lemon zest about it. Flavor of lemon pledge with a dry aftertaste. Ommegang swings and it’s a miss.

Apr 27, 2008 Hazy straw color with thin white head. Aroma of light esters, banana, clove. I know I should have sat on this to let the brett come out, but I couldn’t. Flavor is mild and only slightly funky. Actually a nice sipping beer. The alcohol is well hidden. Decent beer.

Apr 26, 2008 Pours a hazy yellow color with a medium fluffy white head. Aroma is lightly citrus and yeasty. Taste is about the same. It’s missing a lot of the funk and citrus varietals. Seems more like a Belgian Tripel or Strong than a Saison.

Apr 26, 2008 wow I was really disapointed by this beer.......just average nose and not really alot of flavor in general....it sucks compared to the dupont’s and the bret flavor does not even come out until it gets to room temp......I did not finish the bottle

Apr 25, 2008 Pours out a hazy yellow color wuth lots of yeast paticulate floating about. head is medium size and off white in color. Aroma is light citrus, barnyard, and misc fruit. Taste is much the same, however, the fruitiness is way too subtle compared to the brett. This beer is good, but a bit lopsided.
