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.

Thanks sebletitje for the share. Pours hazy yellow with a big pillowy white head. Nose is malt, hay, straw, mild horse blanket, spice, brett, and a bit of Jolly Pumpkin. Flavor is malt, water, some brett, some barnyard, yeast, pepper, grass, and some vinegar. Lingering acetone vinegar.

Thanks to someone for opening this at Flossmoor! Poured hazy paler golden with a creamy cap of whitish head. The aroma picked up tangy lemon zest, Brett funkage, and earth over paler and fruity maltage.. quite nice! The flavor found pale and fruity malt sweetness at the core with fine lemon zest and spicage around.. dry and funky with great balance. Medium-bodied with a whole bunch of carbonation on the palate (which worked here).. lengthy finish. This was just what I needed!

750 ml bottle number 11925 from the Bayou. Wow, what an awesome addition to Utah! Pours a cloudy orange with a thick white head. The nose was light yeast, subdued brett, citrus also. The flavor was like a good champagne; sweet and dry flavors, yeast, light malts and a touch of funkiness from the brett. A nice beer.

Courtesy of sebletitje. Pours hazy deep gold with mildly frothy off white head. The aroma is citrus tartness, crushed aspirin, a bit of apple and other assorted fruity notes. The taste is a bit earthy and mild funk goodness that grows into Brett like tartness. Midway it gets very tart and heads into the finish with a modest level of earthy funk.
