750ml.Deep biscuit and rye nose, a little lemon and real slight funk. Tste is more of the rye, a little deeper brett character, some peppery saison spice, but an almost overload of orange/lemon zest. Much better as it warms and the barnyard flavor comes out more. I’d like to try one with some age on it.

75cl bottle picked up down in OC after the anniversary party. Hazed dark orange, almost copper color with a big, lasting off-white head. The aroma hits you with some brett in a funky earthy way right off. Hay, earth, lemon, blood oranges, candied ginger and some sweet malt in the aroma as well. Really nice nose. The flavor is fruity, and pretty spicy with a light tartness. There is a higher level of malt than many saisons as well, but the finish is still pretty dry. Not really hoppy, though there is some bitterness in the finish as well as some graininess. Medium bodied with lots of carbonation. Just a little sweeter than I was hoping, but a nice maltier saison

pours a heady yellow brown and reeks of rye, so peppery, with a bit of lemon, and sugar in there,. dry, and shalky flavors. spiced rye flavor with a bit of the milkshake mouthfeel, bbut it doesn’t quite cross the line, a kitchen sink beer for sure, i’m thinking of the other times i had this nad i’m assuming they were olser, and had time for the brett to really take hold, this has a bit of powder and metal going on, but nit much besides a bit of band aid in the finish . leaves a scotch gaurd like finish, and for those of you that have been there, you know exactly wwhat i mean, numbing, and chemicl notes, not necessarily bad, but noteworthy nonetheless. 3 6 6 2 13

Bottle. Nose is quite yeasty, floral and citric, with some alcohol warmth. Palate is full bodied, yeasty, citric and rather fizzy (this softens as you work your way through it). Some llight sourness is in here, with somenice spicey, peppery alcohol and citric yeast bitterness in the finish. Pretty good.

Bottle. Very solid saison but a bit on the heavy side. Pours with a more golden copper color than expected. Has nice aromas of funk and ripe fruit. Flavors of spice, yeast, citrus and caramel. Finishes wiht some real funk. Nice.

Bottle sample at the Draft Magazine PBS Beer Festival. Pours clear gold with a fizzy white head. The nose is fruit and spice. The taste is lemon zest, candy, light funk and fruit. Light prickly mouthfeel. Decent Saison.

This one was a serious gusher and didn’t stop foaming out of the bottle for several minutes. Poured a deep orange color with a huge, bubbly cream colored head that lasted forever. The aroma shows hints of citrus fruits, oranges, and lemon zest to go with some candied sugar, and the farmhouse style brett. The flavors follow suit with the orange citrus and lemon zest, candied sugar, and some spices. The rye malts come through and balance things out, while the brett dries things out and add tartness. Medium bodied with a lot of carbonation and a bone dry finish. This is a very unique and tasty saison.

This golden ale poured with an overactive beige head that took some time to recede. There is a strong citrus aroma and a strange mixture of flavors: lemon, pepper, brett yeast, caramel malt, grass and anise. It’s interesting, but doesn’t work that well in regard to taste.
