Boulevard Saison Brett

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

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.

A: Poured a beautiful haze yellow, huge puffy long head. S: Fruity, flowery, bready, slightly funky. T: Amazing. Lemon, bread, hoppy, light roasted nuts, black-pepper bite. Not sure I ever rated a 5 on taste in well over 100 beers I reviewed, but, this nails it. M: Clean, silky D: Easy to down the whole bottle. ABV gets in the way, but, thats a burden I’m willing to shoulder. Another fantastic brew!

Bottle 3701. The cork blasted out of the bottle before the cage was even loosened! Pours hazy gold with a nice thick head, medium lacing. Aroma is nice, sweetgrainy notes, whiffs of burlap and that wonderful brett funk. Faint aromas of barnyard, hay and earthy notes. Flavor begins rich and sweet, large malt profile and lots of hop pepper, almost hot on the tongue, giving way to a warm, lemony sour nout, here comes a big grassy note and a bitter, slightly earthy finish. A wonderful beer from Boulevard, and would undoubtedly be even better laid down for about two years.

Poured a small white head, decent retention and lace. Hazy gold hued ale. Nose of sweet malts and faint citrus, brett?? Lightly medium body, lightly oily on the palate with some vigourous carbonation. Sweet malt flavors, citrus with light grain notes and just a tad peppery but i,m still not finding much brett action. Lightly swet, malty finish. Meh. Props to eaglefan for sharing.
