Jun 21, 2009 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!!!!!!!

Jun 16, 2009 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.

Jun 15, 2009 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...

Jun 9, 2009 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.

Jun 5, 2009 Batch Number 2008-1 (Purchased October 2008). Bottle #750 purchased in Savoy, Illinois. Pours cloudy yellow-gold color with a huge head that takes a long time to dissipate. Aroma of yeast, sweetness, and floral. Lots of carbonation that lasts quite a while. Spicy aftertaste that is slightly bitter. Great mouthfeel and very easy to drink. The alcohol is hidden very well. I have a few more bottles of this that are being "cellared" right now. This is the 4th bottle of this that I have consumed and everyone of them has been great! I can’t wait to try the 2009 batch.
