Boulevard Saison Brett

Brewed by Boulevard Brewing Company
Style: Saison
Kansas City, Missouri USA

Much better than it’s sister Saison, Brett brings more spice, a better kick, and a more noticeable finish...nice white head, too.

Courtesy SoLan. Pours a hazy golden orange with a huge fluffy pearly white head. Smells of spicy citrus, definite funk and some good doses of brett. The flavor has a big spice profile, some pepper, brett, funk, and tart citrus mixed in as well. Very refreshing and full flavored with a decent little bitterness in the finish. Very nice saison, not really any noticeable flaws and very flavorful. Tasty.

Bottle from a great guy by the name of mreusch. Poured a clear, golden-yellow color with rising carbonation and a billowing white head that left good lacing. Definite brett in the aroma, with hints of musty barnyard, hay, dried fruits (orange rind, tangerine, lemon peel), dusty spice (pepper, basil), and some dry, floral hops. Smooth, spicy entry with hints of peppers and some soft fruity undertones of orange, tangerine, and light lemon paired with a soft tartness provide a transition into a musty, dry, bretty barnyard yeastiness with hints of hay and cobweb that finishes with a dry, floral hoppiness. Moderate carbonation and a great dryness as a result from the brett and hops. Really an awesome beer, it takes Boulevards base saison and dries it out even more and gives it a bit of funkiness. Thanks Matt, I really appreciate the hook up.

Bottle from FlacoAlto, thanks! Pale blonde, pours an enormous foamy head. Sharp citric hops, soap and leather in the strong aroma. Firm and sharp leathery hopbitter flavor. Herbal with loads of lemon. Fairly sour. Herbal hopbitter aftertaste that lingers on and on. Lovely!

Bottle from Theisti. Thanks again, man! Pours a deep cheddar orange with a rocket-quick white head. Smells of musty vegetable plastic and monocot spring grass. Flavor is musty lemon cheddar and Brett that will only improve. Thick, full mouthfeel. Excellent beer. Definite cellar beer and a repeat.

Bottle. Pours with a HUGE head of fizzy foam. The little bit of liquid at the bottom of the first glass of foam looks to be a kind of hazy straw color. Many streams of carbonation are also present. Aromas are pleasant... almost a Pine Sol lemon presence with a bit of pepper and some grass. Kind of ephemeral. Flavor is an odd mix of sweetness (just a hint at first) and slightly astringent cleaning product lemony hops/brett.

Pours a hazy golden with a huge foamy head. POUR GENTLY. Aroma is lemony, hoppy, slightly spicy. Flavor is lightly malty, lemony, with a little bit of pepper. Not much brett maybe with some aging.

Sampled at tronraner’s Xmas Eve^3 tasting. I had been wanting to try this one ever since I had my first smokestack series brew - thanks Suttree! Bottle 08551. Hazy dull yellow pour with good white head and some particulate. Clean but funky light pepper nose. Flavor of lemon citrus, and a little grassy hop adds a bitterness on the finish. Very high carbonation. I’m not really a fan of saisons, but this was a nice american offering of the style.
