Commercial Description:
Our gold-medal winning Saison (Mondial de la Biere, Montreal, 2008) was the inspiration for this limited edition ale. We brewed a slightly stronger version that was then dry hopped, followed by bottle conditioning with various yeasts, including Brettanomyces, a wild strain that imparts an earthy quality. Though this farmhouse ale is given three months of bottle age prior to release, further cellaring will continue to enhance the "Brett" character if that’s what you’re after.

No. 05671. Batch 2009-1. From Bottle Barn, I think. Pours a hazy gold with a foamy white head. Aromas of citrus and mild brett. Medium body with decent carbonation. Flavor is mostly brett, but not exceptionally sour. Something like orange citrus, pale malt, light spice. Finish is pretty clean and softly funky, and this stuff is damnably drinkable. Could be my go-to beer, if I could always afford it, and I could ever get it. Highly recommended.

750ml bottle $12.50. Nice hazy yellow with a super active head that refuses to die down. Nice smell, bretty without being farm-like smells quite lemony. The flavor is a lot more lemon but not sour at all, mouthfeel was good and this beer was incredibly easy to drink. This may be the best Boulevard beer I have had thus far.

Bottle for Fathers Day thanks to ericandersnavy. Pours a VERY impressive light clody yellow with very fluffy white head that won’t let up. Aroma is great, some farmhouse/funk, fruit, lemon citrus......Flavor is a bit different, some citrus notes, brett funk, no citrus tang, fruit, some sweetness, malt. Mouth feel is great, light-medium body with very high fizzy carbonation. Overall, all but the flavor came through for me...if it tasted the way it smelled, would have been GREAT!!!!!!!� I just wanted a little more tang from this....If this was sour, would have been TERRIFIC!!!!!!!

750 ml bottle - batch 2009-1 bottle 05590/11925. Pours a hazy deep dark yellow with a huge pillowy white head that retains well and laces the glass.

The aroma is some sweet fruity malts, funky yeast and brett.

The flavor is some sweet fruitiness and a big yeasty funk with some subdued brett. As it warms more fruits and brett come out. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with tons of sharp carbonation that mellows as it sits.

Overall, a nice funky saison with good brett and sweet fruits to complement it. It definitely improves a lot as it warms.

2008 Bottle - Pours a hazy golden with a large white head...enigma brew, half the folks that sampled it had no head at all, while other had big ones...also, from one sip to the next, the carbonation would come and go??...aroma was terrifically rustic, grainy, dirty, floral and spicy and a bit tart...flavour was similarly nice, not as funky as some would expect, but still a wonderful complementary sourness to this spicy brew...

750ml bottle thanks to CaryTheDude who hooked me up with a beer i’ve been wanting for a long time. Bottle number 296/11925. Beautiful hazy golden color with huge white head that lingers on and on. Aroma of flowery hops, pale malt, and funk. Flavor of flowers, light herbal notes, yeast and funk. Some spice in there too. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, spicey finish with some hops. By far the best Saison i’ve ever had. So glad I got to try this one.
