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 from Tytoanderso - Thanks! Pours a hazy yellow with a nice white head. Aroma of spices blended with yeast and malts. Flavor is very balanced with spiciness and a little of that earthiness feel. Very smooth and crisp.

Bottle pours a hazy light yellow beige with a nice full fizzy white head. Light malty and musty aroma. Light malty funky flavor. Lively carbonation and light clean and dry. Tasty.

Bottle: Pours a lightly murky orange/yellow color with a puffy white head. The nose is spicy with a bright yeast and brett blanket, with a small pillow of ginger and a lightly husky note. The flavor is a bit sweet initially, but has a lightly hoppy bitter note that dries out the finish with a light lemony note in the tail. Quite good with leathery yeast, earthy hops and a spicy overall persona. Not as big as the brett can sometimes get a beer. Thanks Jake65!

My bottle (750ml) shared with tupalev & rudolf. Batch #1, June 2007. Pours a cloudy yellow with an average size diminishing fluffy white head. Nice lacing. Good but somewhat standard Saison aroma, yeasty with brett, light funk, fruit and spices. Flavour though is fantastic, so tasty and easy to drink: Funky yeast, lots of fruit along with spices and light hops in the finish. Alcohol’s well hidden. Medium bodied. A refreshing, very flavourful session beer -- I would love several pints of this!

Bottle shared with and courtesy of Blankboy. Nice yeasty, zesty aroma. Med to dark yellow, small white head. Very refreshing taste - very zesty, lemon, citrus, dry hops at the end. So drinkable, very little alcohol presence, simple yet contemplative. Great stuff.

This beer pours a beautiful, somewhat clear golden amber. It did not have much head, but this could have been a result of the bartender letting it settle. Aroma is strong and malty with a citrus hint. Flavor is rich, mainly malty, with a good hoppy nip and something of an alcohol bite. Aftertaste is smooth but edgy.

Easily the highest score I’ve given a brettanomyces beer. A light funky aroma that grows as you wait on it. A decent flavor, just not amazing.
