Feb 25, 2008 Updated: Mar 4, 2008Bottled. 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.

Feb 25, 2008 Updated: Apr 25, 2008Bottled, thanks kmweaver! Pours muddy golden with airy head. Sweaty, lightky citric yeasty nose. Lightly fruit with medium body, some fresh hops mixes with a light touch of Brett acidity. Slimmer and more drinkable than I’d expect an 8% beer to be, yet complex. The funky character drowns a little bit in fruit and yeast though.

Feb 24, 2008 Shared by Ed (AKA DoughBoy) at Steve’s house. Poured from 750 ml bottle, yellowy and white. Aroma of biscuits & yeast, hops and brown candied sugar. The beer has a somewhat bitter, spiced flavour with a particular hoppy character. A well made saison. Would love to try on tap.

Feb 23, 2008 Batch 1. Courtesy of Juart. Shared w/ Nate and Juart. 1 1/2 finger white foamy head. Straw golden color with a lot of carbonation. Lots of brettyness in the nose. A little bit of spice, but mostly good sauerkraut/rye funk. aroma. Excellent sour flavor but there is a great underlying citrus. Very complex and I would love to see what this would be like in a few years.

Feb 23, 2008 Bottle at the Laid Back Brussels Tasting (Feb 9, 2008)
Hazy, yellow body. Rocky, creamy head. Good lace. Aroma is strong on the hops with some malts. (Also some hints of bretts.) Heavily bitter flavour of hops. Quite plain, 1D flavour of hops, which is quite enjoyable. Not boring, but not great either.

Feb 22, 2008 Pours a pale yellow color. Poured a big, carbonated, fizzy liquid but all of that dissipated pretty quickly into a thin off white head. Aroma is first of yeast, then you notice a little citrus hops back there. The alcohol is hid well and not done by throwing a bunch of dixie crystal sugar in there. Slight and pleasant sweetness. Crisp dry finish. Spicy citrus flavor. A nice beer all around. I held on to this for a while after it first came out since the reviews were so terrible. Wish I had one back then to compare it to.

Feb 22, 2008 Another winner from ommegang. Enjoyable flavor with nice head. The aroma was filled with a slight spice and it resonated in the flavor.

Feb 20, 2008 Bottle. Hazy bright, light yellow body with a massive bright white head on top. The aroma is definite brett with some candi sugar. This makes me think of peach cobbler with some nice cinnamon spicing. The taste is fairly strong brett (I am not trying this fresh, it’s been aged for many months). I get lots of cinnamon spice and some cloves. There is also a little bit of that peach cobbler character along with a highly carbonated body. Nice dry, woody finish. Nicely made and very interesting.
