Bottle @ TFODRBSG, Ulfborg, 2008.
[thank you, papsoe]
Pours hazy golden with a small, frothy, off-white head. Aroma is sweet, lightly spicy with oranges, cloves and a caramel edge to it. Fine mouthfeel with a grainy edge - could perhaps do with some more fluffyness, like many other saisons. Flavour is great, though. Very nice malty balance, some fruity tartness, and a great balance of pepper and other spices. Some caramel and rye bread play along as well. Not a touch on the Jandrain we had earlier, but still wonderful.

UPDATED: JUL 2, 2010 8th November 2008. Cloudy gold-amber beer, frothy white head. Flavoursome aromatic sourness and distinct spiciness. Just the right side of being over dry. Strong for a Saison. 22nd May 2010. ChrisOs ’Blue Ridge Mountains Of Virginia’ tasting! (Early hours of the morning rating). Sweet aromatics, good saison flavours. Refreshing. Better than original tasting.

Hazy orange with a disappearing white head. Herbal and fruity aroma. Dry and spicy flavour with very complex brett character

cloudy golden, thick white head. sour notes, rye, sweet malts, sweet fruits, nice. flaovr is sweetness from rye, brett, wheat yeast.

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.

UPDATED: MAR 29, 2011 1. From the Bottle at Dr Bill’s Tasting Falling Rock Tap House, Denver 10/10/2008 Fruit and hop aromas. White head. Bronze coloured rich on the palate and strong in alcohol with a crisp and slightly dry malt finish. 2. From the Bottle at Breakfast with The Bruery, Cheeky Monk Belgian Beer Cafe, Denver 18/09/2010 Some carbonation. Malty and spicy aroma. White head. Bronze coloured hoppy and citrus flavoured with a hint of bitterness in a dry malt finish.

Bottle from South Bay Drug (though I have a spare from Bottle Barn). Orange gold color with a large whitish head. Aroma is spicey over fruit and light malt. Medium body with vigorous carbonation. The brett funk is up front. Next is like sucking peach pits. Lots of sharpish spice. Puckers my mouth - i.e. astringent. Finish is mildly sweet, fruity, funky. It’s the cleanest funk (?) I can recall. The rye finally comes center stage. It’s genuinely mouthsmacking. Perhaps the best Bruery I’ve had so far.

Bottled. Orange coloured. Unclear. Fluffy off White head. Aroma of flowers, yeats, sweetness, light sources, grape, citrus. Flavour of yeast, sourness, flowers, light fruits, citrus. Medium to full bOdied. Ends on a uelastisk, grapy and light sourness note. Hig bly drinkable despite the relatively High abc.

Bottle from Root Cellar. Poured a hazy yellow color with a large frothy white head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate earthy, herbs, fruit and yeast aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy sweet & sour witty flavor with a medium to heavy spicy sweet finish of moderate to long duration. I would recommend this to a friend.

Bottle at Patricks. Golden-orange colour with an off-white head. Aroma is spices, rye, fruit, yeast. Flavour is sweet, spices, hop, banana, alcohol, brett. Nice beer.
