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] Pours hazy golden with small off-white head. Aroma and taste are both quite sour and funky with some yeast. Mouthfeel is too thin. A little bitterness on the finish along with some yeast. I really did not care much for this beer. 6/3/6/2/12=2.9

Update, 05/23/08: This was the first bottle that I tried where the brett finally was showing through. Significantly better, even if it is still rather average.

The color was light golden/orange. The head was creamy, thin, and white. The aroma was wine-esque, grape, sour, alcohol, and yeast. The flavor was tart, earthy, alcohol, grape, and yeast. The palate was average. The finish was tart.

Bottled June 1 07. Consumed on January 22 08. Pours a hazy soft gold with a thick whispy white head. The aroma is slightly acidic, white grapes, very vinous, some grassy hops,some lemongrass. The flavor is fruity, a little tart, dry, some grassy notes, a bit of alcohol, slightly earthy, spicy, lemongrass. The palate is soft and full, smooth and only a little dry at the back of the mouth. The finish is nice and earthy. I thoroughly enjoyed this.

hazy yellow, wispy white head, bits of lace, light sweet malt aroma with a nice touch of leathery funk and floral hops, sweet malt flavor is quickly balanced with the light earthy bret character, light bitterness, nice touch of lemony tartness, lasting bitter finish,
