Brewed by The Bruery
Style: Saison
Placentia, California USA

750ml in Duvel glass. Hazy orange with lasting head and lace. Yeasty funky sweet fruity and spicy aroma. Funky sweet and fruity melon grapefruit cocktail with spice and mild tobacco bitterness with dry yeasty finish and lingering barnyard. Medium body. Nice mouthfeel. Extremely complex, Well-restrained funk to fruit/sweet balance with perfect hop execution. They friggin nailed it with this one. Awesome.

On tap at EBF, and a 750 ml bottle from Whole Foods. Slightly hazy orange in color with a big off white head. Aroma is fruity with citrus, peach and some light mango, with lemony brett, musty and peppery yeast. Taste is on the big side for a saison- has some nice fruityness with citrus, and some moderate lemon and tart brett. Moderately spicy, medium to full bodied with a tart bretty and light hoppy finish. Great saison.

Poured a hazy golden color with a large white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of brett, vanilla, leather, citrus fruits, yeast, orange spices, and floral hops. Taste of citrus fruits, honey, lemon peel, spices, and a bready dry finish with the alcohol never being noticed.

bottle from the Plumpjack Beer of the Month Club poured into a tulip... awesome pour - comes out hazy orange with a thick white fluffy head. some brett, lemon and orange aromas... medium to full body - a very heavy Saison... this one really grabs a hold of your mouth.... big lavender and chamomile flavors cross the palate with a burst of citrus up front. high carbonation on the sides while soft on top. a touch of bitterness at the back and through the finish... this Saison really sticks with you. very nice indeed.... I’m not a huge fan of this style, but Saison Rue delivers... I could definitely drink this again and again.

Hazy, light banana color. Well carbonated and with a lively body. Mild hoppiness and lemon citrus pique the senses and lead you into the first sip, a bready, lemon-citrus burst. Lemony sourness on finish. A summer refresher, that you would never guess is greater than 6% ABV. Nice.

Foggy gold, nice white head. Aroma is rye, malt, light yeast, light spice. Taste is a strong rye, yeast, light malt, some spice, and pepper to it. Heavy carbonation.

20090404 750ml bottle from Capone’s. Dark, hazed golden with lasting creamy off-white head. Fruity stuff with peach, tangerine, and pineapple notes, floral and perfumed, sweet yellow cake batter. Nice spiciness throughout, pepper, coriander. A tad hot and some lingering alcohol. Grassy notes as it warms, especially the last pour. Nice beer.

750mL bottle. Poured bright golden-orange with a creamy cap of white head. The aroma picked up lemon zest, earth, and ginger over bready and toffee sweetness.. some deeper funk accented.. well put together. The flavor was more influenced by the Brett and the spicage with peppery notes, caraway seeds, and sour funky notes, especially on the back.. simple, yet adequate bready base.. just a little harsh at the end. Fuller-bodied with soft, rolling carbonation on the palate.. balance was good for the first 3/4 of the drink.. enjoyable overall.
