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.

Pours an off-white head with a hazy gold body. Smells of malt, acid, and ginger. Flavor is zest, acid, ginger, and malt. Palate is fading but the ginger lasts.

Bottled @ København Ølfestival 2009. The aroma has fruits like aprikot and citrus, cheese and yeast. Slightly hazy, yellow coloured beer with a white head. The taste is very fruity (lemon, aprikot) with some cheesy, earthy yeast. Good, refreshing saison.

Thanks to ucusty for this one. Caged cork near blinded 3 people as it blew off after only 2 twists of the wire (but seriously, it exploded off the bottle with minimal effort - beware!). Pour is gushing cloudy yellow with huge rocky head, marvelous looking. Aroma is lemon, grass, hay, faint malt, brett funk, peaches and orange. Flavor is lemony, funky brett, black pepper (possibly the ginger), floral, lavender, and crisp. Alcohol seeps in too. Lots of character, I like it.

750mL brown glass cork-finished. Batch #2, March 2008. Finally decided to pull this one from the back of the fridge. Appearance: Poured into a Duvel tulip, beautiful golden hay color with fine particles, tiny bubbles, and a fluffy white head, 1 inch thick that recedes leaving lacing. Nose: Apricot, sour peach, hay, figs (fresh), wild flowers, weathered wood (boards), summer breeze (to be poetic). Palate: Holy sour! But with wonderful carbonation that is sudsy and explosive, really keeping the sourness in check by drying things out. Flavors are of sour peach, sour apricot, kumquat (big time), dried grass, lemon rind, parsley, green tea leaves, and a little funky/foxy/earthy/dirty-thing on the finish. Long, lingering finish is punctuated by the sourness, but not puckering. Sides of the mouth are left with the drying carbonation. Notes: Sour, but not overtly funky. Has achieved excellent balance on the mouthfeel with the sourness and the explosive, dry carbonation working together in harmony, pulling the ends towards the middle. Has vastly improved since its release. Would love to see this one another year from now!
