The Bruery Saison Rue

Pours copper/orange with a sustained white head. Smells grassy with some dry malt and rye bread hints. Tastes perfumy, lightly bitter, dry, grassy.

Hazy amber color with a large white head that retains very well and leaves a lot of lacing on the glass. Really earthy aroma with some funk to it, not a strong funk like you might expect in a beer with Brett, but more of a musty kind of way. Hay, cracked pepper, and some ginger also come into play in the aroma; I love Saisons like this. Taste almost has a rye bread taste at the beginning. I get the same musty hay in the taste, then some pepper and other spices, before a strong earthy taste sets in. Lingering earthy, dry finish, carbonation is high. Very well made Saison, I*d love to drink this again.

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.

This stuff just got to ohio today. I am glad I chose this one over the autumn maple. Pours a reddish light cloudy brown with some rusty hues to it. The head on this is awesome. Never poured that big at all but it stuff around the entire beer and when the glass was swirled the creamy head grew in size. The rye comes through some in the aroma. There is some spiciness and a light funk that comes through. Not overly bretty though. Flavor had a nice bitterness to it and was very smooth drinking. There was some sweetness left in this one though even with the brett. The palate on this was one of the best i have felt too. Creamy and some sweetness which was weird for a saison but it still felt right for the beer. Well done. Cant wait to try the other bruery stuff.

Hazy orange, thick sea foam white head. Rustic lemon meringue aromas swirl on undercurrents of funked ginger pears and peppery apricots throughout. Well balanced with textured fruity peppered rye-like tones and hints of yeast over a light dry hoppy funked finish. Medium to full bodied with zesty carbonation. An absolute winner in my book…

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.

Sample from bottle at Festival bière et saveur 09.09.04 : Dark yellow in color, small sparing head a bit hazy with average carbonation. I smell straw, perfume, pepper, lime, pineapple. This beer is something. Acidity is present but well hidden by it supperb spice bouquet. My hightlight of that day .

Bottle erupts upon opening...finally settles to pours hazy gold into a tulip. Off-white head sticks in chunks to the glass as it recedes. Sour funk and fruit aromas. Crisp and dry with upfront sweet coriander and alcohol. Lasting funk finish. Nice!
