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.

Bottle via a trade with Soonah. #07572. Pours with a huge, foamy white head that leaves good lace over a clearish golden body. Aroma of brett, lemon, horse blanket, spice, and honey. Taste is sweetness, pepper, a nice earthy brett tone, brett phenols, honey. Very, very drinkable, I could drink this all day. Lively carbonation, dry mouthfeel.

Nose is mild citrus and yeast. Golden color with a lot of haze. Heavy carbonation, lots of tight beaded bubbles form a long lasting head. Taste is sweet, crisp, and smooth. Some mild citrus notes, and a tad bready. Full-bodied, but light and refreshing. Very delicate but robust... Excellent beer!

A very good bretty saison. Pours golden with thin white head. Very delicate fruity notes in this one, with just a mild taste of the brett funkiness. This beer is all about nuance.

Bottle 974 of 11950. Sweet aroma, some honey and beeswax, light apple, some orangepeel, and pollen and floral notes. Rich Bubbly head, golden yellow and opaque. Sweet and sour flavors, dry, delicate but assertive with a good duration. Honey and lemon and spices. Medium thick and creamy palate with a rich duration. Light but rich, strongly floral, very good. Excellent saison. Very interesting.

Great Saison. Best I’ve had yet. Aroma is incredibly earthy...hints of straw, grass and pine. Also present is a faint yeast aroma with some citrus. Flavor is packed with candied plums, yeast, sugared pineapple and mandarin orange. Also along for the ride is the Brett, although it was not too funky. Mouthfell is very carbonated and effervescent. Overall, everything was well in balance. The only downside is that when it gets warm, everything is out of balance and the flavor is not really that good, so drink it chilled, and if you are drinking the bottle by yourself, keep it in the fridge.

Bottle thanks to Holdenn for picking this one up for me. #705 of 11950. Cloudy yellow with large fluffy white head. Aroma is funky, sweeter, dirty. Flavor is dirty sweeter, nice, grain, interesting, fruit. Medium body and light carbonation. Very tasty but need to sit on it.

Bottle 960. Poured cloudy gold, with a large white head. Aroma of spice, yeast, citrus, brett. Taste is light, yeasty, spiced, a little funky, and lightly bitter in the finish. Body is light and lively. Overall, a nice and funky saison.
