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.

Dull pale, cloudy. The aroma is somewhat vague, dull yeastiness with accents that are likely brett but could be mistaken for phenols. The body is thin, and the alcohol is very apparent. There’s some fruitiness, lots of yeast (to the point of astringency)...and the finish is both muddled and dry. I’m going to cellar my other bottle cause this isn’t really all that shit hot right now....it goes nowhere and does nothing.

Corked bottle

Hazy blond color. Breadish aroma, poor, abit perfumy. Sweetish flavor, some mix of malt/cereals/cornish flavor, uninteresting, with a very light banana and vegetable touch. Not good.

Corked bottle. Blonde. Plastic, oak, mango, grapefruit and pineapple in the aroma. Plastic and leather in the flavor, with citrusfruit and pineapple. Slightly perfumed. The brett really adds to the complexity of this beer.

A Mes rate: Bottle at Tom’s UGT Pt. 2.
Nice blonde colour with a slim white head. Yeasty and more tripel than saison if you ask me. Good hops, nice spice very Belgian indeed with no real American character at all. A good Belgian style ale but nothing to go crazy about.
