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.

750 mL bottle received via trade with Immy. Pours hazy slight yellow, sparkling, average fizzy, white head, lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (grain, hay, straw, cereal), average hops (flowers, herbs), heavy yeast (horse blanket, musty, earth) with notes of grape, apple, pear, medicine, and bandage - gotta love the brett! Medium bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness.

Orange pour with a quickly fading white head. Aroma has some citric sourness, yeast, and graininess. Flavor has some ligthly funky-sour brettiness with light herbs, orange, and some light acidity. Nice mouthfeel. This one is tough to rate as its not as funky/sour as I had hoped despite the time on it - I actually remembered it being more sour in the fall. Good for what it is, but doesn’t stand up to the best brett beers.

750 shared with Nate and Naka. Batch #1, June 2007. Pours hazy straw yellow with a small white head, fizzy and diminishing. Nose is funktastic. Apple and vinegar, pear and slight malt. Light malt with funky Brett-tasticness. Dry and absolutely awesome. This is a crazy taste that is tough to describe. Apple vinegar and citrus. I guess I tried anyway. Good stuff. Would be great on the back porch in the summer, but did just fine in the dead of winter.

Bottle at the second Doubletree tasting, provided by theisti. Thanks for helping me get this one off my wants list! Pours a cloudy yellow with an aroma of zesty lime and citrus flower. Flavor is Spring grass with dew and a touch of lemon. Full mouthfeel. Awesome saison.

Hazy and gold with frothy white head plus some spotty lacing. Citrus and grapes on the nose almost wine like. Grapefruit , biscuits, grapes, wood. Mild brett flavor that imo is just starting to show

Bottled. Thanks to omhper. Cloudy golden with a fluffy white foam. Mild bretty aroma with notes of lemon-zest, wood, grapes and minerals. Medium-bodied leading to weak. Dryish flavour of mild breatt, grapefruit, cookies, white bread with a peppery finish. A bit tame in comparison to the others brett monster we’ve sampled during this particular tasting.
