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.

Pours light golden with a massive soapy white head. The head releases an enticing aroma of sweet citrus and brett earthiness. Taste- brett plays a big role in this brew- very very dry, some alcohol heat, and lots of barnyard. Leather, rope, spice. There is still some fruity sweetness from the malt. Reminds me a lot like Jolly Pumpkin product. Mouthfeel is spritzy from the high carbonation. Drinkability is good, but my only complaint is the booziness.

Shared at DLD. Body is golden brown with a nice white head. Aroma is very citrusy, with a bit of spice in the back end. Light, crisp body--refreshing. Plenty of carbonation--normally throws me off--but it works well here. The flavor is light lemon/citrus flavors with bready yeast notes and some very light black pepper.

#8 Bottle. [Papsoe grand American tasting] Huge bubbled white head that really lasted. Excellent display of lacework. Cloudy orange color. Aroma of citrus, pepper, spice, perfume, soap, mild barnyard, fruit, mild undertone of toasted malt and wood like dryness. Quite full bodied with a lively carbonation and dry texture. Moderated sweet and acidic and bitter flavor. Lingering peach and citrus like finish with a touch of spice. 8 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 16 = 4.0
