4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
I swear this smells like freshly fried Belgian fries with some Brett and oranges on them. Caramel, bready, bretta, milk chocolate mouth that is surprisingly light. Alcohol is well hidden. Hard to define style, but very enjoyable and unique.

It’s pretty much an Americanized imperial saison, and I love it. Hazy orange/yellow pour with froth off-white head. Barnyard funk, lemon zest, cherries, apple, bread, caramel, spice, and citrus. Complex and flavorful.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark orange, slightly hazy gold with an off-white head.
Spicy citrus Belgian yeast aroma.
Slightly sweet some spice. Some nice tangy Belgian characteristics to it.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
C&C 750. Hazy, cloudy dark gold with a small white head. Orange and nectarine nose, backed by solid caramel. Somewhat sweet and lightly yeasty, mildly spiced. Tasty.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Crushed with CaryTheDude and JakeBra. Orange pour with a big white head. Great big, fruity, leathery aroma. Brett is apparent. Flavor is fruity, a bit citrusy. Hoppy, but a bit too sweet. Regardless, I’m digging it. Pretty good for a random collaboration, and a random pickup.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Crushed mostly with Honkeybra with Jakebra in the background. A hoppy saison classified as a belgian strong ale? Aight. Pretty cool.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
750 ml bottle. Pours a very hazy antique gold with a moderate linen white head that lasted through two-thirds of the glass and left decent lace. Very pleasant aroma of yeast, caramel, and oranges. The flavor is more heavily dominated by Belgian yeast, with caramel and very little fruit. I purposely waited at least six months before opening this bottle to allow the brett to mature, and I have to say I was disappointed because there was none to be found. Light bitterness at the finish. Medium bodied. A good beer, but nothing special.

Bottle courtesy of tpd975. Pours a clear copper with a small white head that fades to a ring leaving good lacing. Aroma of caramel, citrus, sweet malt, candied fruit, sweet tarts, and herbal hops. Taste is citrus and herbal hops with sweet malt, caramel, and candied fruit in the finish. Medium mouthfeel with a mild to moderate amount of bitterness and well hidden alcohol. Very good.
