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.

Got a bottle of this at By The Bottle in Vancouver, WA. Colour...goldenrod. Nose... spicy, yeasty. Palate... lot’s o’ carbonation, and you can tell the dry hop w/ its nice bite. Complex, yeasty and delightfully Bretty with a medium finish. Nicely done!

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.

Bottle shared at PPRBSG09. Pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma and flavor of tropical fruits, yeast, and light spices. Very smooth and dry, easy drinking. I need to get more of this... 8/4/8/5/16 (4.1/5)

Update 11/3/09: Bottle thanks to a generous ratebeerian! Aroma is very fruity with lots of citrus and hops, some lemon grass, melon, and spices. Flavor of dry hops and the same fruity sweetness. Super awesome! 8/4/9/5/17 [4.3/5]

It helps when you are a fan of this style of beer and getting into beers with brett at the same time.. Believe it or not I bought a bottle of this in Downtown Salt lake City at the Bayou!! Smells of lovely fruit and spice with some spice on the nose. Pours A hazed blonde with some nice white head that was frothy!!! The Carbonation and Mouthfeel on this is maybe the best I have ever had on a beer. Fantastic balance and Crispness to it WOW!!! Brett, Sugar, Spice, earth, some hops and bot o honey.. These flavors really worked.. This is even more proof that this brewery is one of the best we have!

Bottle: Generously given to me by beastiefan2k. Hazy yellow with a dense white head. Great aroma- horsey, leathery, farmhouse- just all bretty greatness. Fluffy feel- great dry/spicy flavor. Horsey, white peppery notes, dry phenolics. Dry, spicy, complex. Filled with rustic nuances. Lovely.

bottle at Ft Wayne tasting - Pours hazy yellow with a huge white head. The aroma is of citrus hops, some alcohol, and a hint of brett. The taste is moderately hopped with some spices and grassy notes along with mild brett funkiness. It’s medium bodied and the alcohol is somewhat noticeable. Interesting beer.
