Bottle from South Bay Drugs. A strong deliverance of true authentic Belgian yeast with a tons of spice being smelled. Appearance is a cloudy golden hue with a fat fizzy layer of head that strives to overflow out the bottle and even over the glass. The flavor is tart and sour with a perfume taste. There are a lot of spice and wild yeast flavors but taste is a little off balance and a peppery aftertaste.

Oct 4, 2008 (750ml bottle) Pours a hazy orange body with a small off-white head. Aroma of citrus, clove, ginger, and pepper. Flavor of florals, pepper, coriander, and orange with a dry finish. The brett characteristics are not evident at this time.

Oct 1, 2008 TFODRBSG08 Courtesy of Papsoe. The color is hazy-golden and the head is creamy. The aroma has sweetness and notes of fruit, malt and yeast. The flavour has sweetness and a light sourness, that is far from brett-extreme. It has notes of yeast, fruit and malt.

Sep 30, 2008 Pours a nice coppery golden with a fluffy large bubbly off whtie head - some lace. Aroma is nice earthiness, saison-like with some toasty and earthy herbal hints from the malts and rye, light dust and some lemony citrus character- brett is still very faint. Flavor has a bit of earthy funk but not the full on brett yet, ligth citrus, good spicy saison yeasty kick and a nice dry finish. Solid saison now- but could be real kickass in another year in the bottle.

Sep 29, 2008 Sample @ BBF ’08, Boston. Pours a hazy orange with a white head that has some staying power. The aroma is funky with earth and spice notes detectable. Taste is the same, with the beer remaining drinkable despite the heavy, heavy carbonation. I think I like these guys, and I think this is quite a nice saison.

Sep 28, 2008 Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow with incrdeible carbonation and a head that keeps growing,. The head almost never leaves. I learned my lesson following the initial pour. Nose is funky, barnyard. Somewhat more viscous than other saisons and the yeast is all over the place. Spiced bread tones and not overly dry, but more full-bodied. This was nice, not great, and fairly expensive for what it was.
