Mar 22, 2009 bottle 10581/11950 via psprings...
hazy orange yellow with a monster soapy white head. lots of drippy lacing and pillowy patches stuck on the inside of the glass.
this smells very dry...straw, lemon, cooked orange peel, savory yeast and stone-like minerals.
the brett is far more noticeable in the flavor than in the aroma... cement and cinnamon play around with lemon, straw, yeast and dust with a mildly bitter finish. it’s not terribly complex but there is certainly nothing wrong with it... medium body. crisp and clean on the palate... very refreshing... 8/4/8/4/15/3.9

Mar 21, 2009 Bottle shared at the Smoke from the Oak release. Pours a hazy gold with a light white cap which leaves ample lacing. Funky brett aroma backed with light citrus fruit. Body is thin to medium, with a light sour tang. Ends with a crisp long light bitter.

Mar 19, 2009 Pros: Excellent appearance, gorgeous rocky head. Totally exotic and unique, with flavors and aromas of pineapple, tangerine, orange. Densely loaded with taste. Terrific mouth feel.
Cons: Not a single flaw in this seamlessly constructed effort.
A beautiful beer in every way.

Mar 18, 2009 Bottle shared at tasting. Thanks! Pours light yellow to orange with a light beige head. Smell is light bright, lemony and lightly funky. Taste is bright, funky, tart lemon and grassy hops. Medium body and medium carbonation. Pretty enjoyable, and better than the original, I’d say.

Mar 12, 2009 Pours cloudy orange (with bits in) with a giant, rocky, quickly foamy head. Nose is grapefruit, lemongrass, hay, and sour cream. Flavor is very earthy and musty, with some citrus and allspice. Fairly dry. Clean, medium bodied palate. Long complex aftertaste. Very good indeed.

Mar 6, 2009 750ml bottle. thanks to matt for sending this one along....darker, more opaque light orange pour with an immense thick fluffy white head.... more vibrant and juicy pineapple and citrus accents even more so than the non-brett version..... just a lot more flavor to the saison brett with a bit more dry bitterness in the finish with some additional mustiness....i’m glad i have another bottle of this to see how the brett continues to add character to this one.
