Oct 7, 2009 750 ml bottle courtesy of a trade with beastiefan2k. As we uncaged the bottle at the tasting, the cork exploded out of the bottle leaving a mark on the ceiling and some of the beer overflowing on to the counter. After we all enjoyed a good laugh and cleaned everything up, we resumed our tasting. This beer pours a hazy pale gold with a large white head. There are several streams of champagne-type bubbles continuously rising to the surface. Very pleasant aroma of lemon, funk, mild spice and yeast. The funk is not heavy or overwhelming and fits very nicely with this beer. The flavor is mildly sour with lemon, mild funk, light spice and a bit of yeast. Bright and lively on the palate. This is just an exquisite beer. Many thanks, Eugene, for sending this one my way!

Oct 6, 2009 Bottle from Wise Guys in Schererville. Finally found this damn beer and very excited. Pours a very nice slightly hazed orange-gold with soft fluffy white head that grows. Nose is citrusy and spicy, earth and wood. Taste is pretty phenomenal, nice refreshing bitterness, yeast spiciness and funk from the Brett, though never sour. Perhaps a touch tart and super dry. Fantastic, top shelf Saison.

Sep 30, 2009 9/29/09 notes: GABF Friday session, sampled at least four times. Top Saison at the festival, followed closely by Saison Rue by the Bruery. This beer made me stand up and say, “Holy Shit, this is good!”. Seriously, my buddies can attest. Nose is simultaneously loaded with horseblanket funk and perfumy hops. Palate is medium, extremely smooth, yet with a crisp, snappy finish. Flavors are basically barnyard upfront, layered- not dominated – by a lemon pith lemon tart note that I cannot fully explain. Definitely a bit of sourness and earthiness thrown in there. All of this swirls so wonderfully on the palate, just the way a good Saison should in my opinion. I would LOVE to have a bottle of this to sip on!
