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.

750ml baled and caged. Great bready yeasty aroma. NIce smelling. The taste is pretty wacky a lot going on in this beer. It definitely lives up to its description. An interesting brew that I am glad to have tried but probably won’t buy again

Pours a hazy gold with a dissolving white head. Definite farmhouse, horse hoof aroma, coupled with Saison spiciness.Flavor is balanced and spicey. I little tart fruitiness, possibly from the ginger. Medium bodied and very drinkable.

Semi-hazy golden pour with a fizzy white head. Very acidic and sour with a dry, sweet, somewhat yeasty quality. Medium body with lots of carbonation. Really leans more towards a geuze than a delicate saison.

Pours golden with champagne like bubbles. Aroma is fruity with apple, citrus and bread. Mouthfeel is very lively with lots of carbonation. Flavor is drier than the nose would indicate. Citrus, spice and alcohol are the most up-fron with bread and some off, but not unpleasant flavors in the bakground. Another winner from Ommegang.
