Apr 7, 2009 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.

Apr 6, 2009 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.

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.
