Sep 27, 2009 2008 Bottle - Pours pale tan with a fucken huge head...aroma is sticky and dry at the same time, spicy brett, malty grain...flavour is similar, thick chewy malt, honey, grain, floral spice and booze...I found this to be very tasty, I would buy this all the time if I could, but fundamentally, it defies what a Saison is...this is no more a saison as any other 9% ale...I would drink this in the middle of winter and be completely satisfied, but in the middle of summer, absolutely not...

Sep 26, 2009 750mL bottle. An incredibly murky pale gold pour with a massively fluffy light-tan head. A subtle aroma that features some of the usual sour/funky Brett smells in addition to lemons & limes and some light floral qualities. Goes down big-bodied and creamy, yet crisp in some places. Sweet fruity flavors start things off taste-wise. There is a creamy chai tea middle followed by some funky/sour Brett and a touch of rye. A crisp, floral finish with some citrus. Interesting.

Sep 22, 2009 750 ml bottle. Pours a hazy dark gold with a monstrous fluffy white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is wheaty malt, brett, metallic rye and some other spices.
The flavor is wheaty malts, some light sweet fruit, and brett leading to a medium bitter metallic finish. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with soft carbonation and is a bit watery.
Overall,a decent saison. More brett would be nice. I keep going back and forth between thinking its interesting and noticing off notes and not liking it.

Sep 20, 2009 Bottle from Premier. Slightly cloudy gold body, white head. Nose is honey, lemon, pepper, yeasty spices. Flavor is pepper, earthiness, some lemon, light soap. I don’t get much brett character but it’s still nice enough.

Sep 13, 2009 75 cl bottle.
Ok aroma of spices and Belgian yeast, honey and fruits. Fruity, spicy flavor with a strong yeast profile again. Honey and lemon are there with a bit of tartness from the Brett. The best of the batch today, but I think they need a new yeast strain.

Sep 13, 2009 Funky pear aroma, as noted in an eariler review. Flavor is sweet and full of apple, pear, white grape and chardonnay notes. Pours cloudy golden with white head that froths up at first. An excellent Bretty Saison!

Sep 12, 2009 Bottle: pour a cloudy amber with a frothy white head, aroma has some sour funk from the brett and some citrus notes, taste of honey, some funk but it is pretty mild, might show up a bit more with age, pretty nice saison
