Jan 24, 2008 Thanks to egajdzis for opening this. Batch #1, June of 2007. Opened right around the six month mark. Pours a lightly hazy golden with a medium bubbly white head that left some lacing. Aroma of citrus, some light barnyard, brett starting to come through, some light funkiness, still a little sweet in the nose. Flavor of Saison spiciness, horse blanket, lemon, ginger, drying out nicely.

Jan 24, 2008 Updated: May 27, 2008[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.

Jan 22, 2008 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,
