Commercial Description:
Our gold-medal winning Saison (Mondial de la Biere, Montreal, 2008) was the inspiration for this limited edition ale. We brewed a slightly stronger version that was then dry hopped, followed by bottle conditioning with various yeasts, including Brettanomyces, a wild strain that imparts an earthy quality. Though this farmhouse ale is given three months of bottle age prior to release, further cellaring will continue to enhance the "Brett" character if that’s what you’re after.

Awesome commercial description, George Brett was a pimp! 750 ml bottle thanks to Leems. Poured out a moderate mishmash of orange and yellow with a thick white head. Aroma of yeast, mild horseblanket, pepper and some lemon. Flavor was peppery with hints of lemon, hay and even some light licorice. This was a very interesting beer, would definitely drink again.

Straw color, head was out of control on pour. Wonderful aroma, fruity and funky. The flavor, though, wasn’t very good. The flavor reminded me of chloriseptic, and chloriseptic isn’t very tasty. Really carbonated. Glad this was shared with several buddies and I didn’t have to drink much of this.

Bottle #08720 of 11925:
Hazy golden coloured body with a very very thick tan head that actually shows nicely over the beer - it’s all microfoam. Aroma of pepper, hay, yeast, wheat, candy and even a bit of lavendar. Medium-bodied; Assertive fennel and anise flavours tucked in with wild yeast, cloves, spice and a good maltiness. Aftertaste shows a lot of spicey character with some alcohol very noticeable and a good balance of sweetness and spices. Overall, a good and potent saison - perhaps a bit too spicey for me, but good characteristics are noticeable in this one! I sampled this 75 cL bottle purchased earlier today at Broadway Wine Merchants in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on 31-August-2009.

750ml Bottle #08576...From BFC. Thanks Jake. Nice pop off the cork.. Monster fluffy head that took a minute to settle. Straw/Orange color. Good aroma of yeast, lemon, spices, light grass, with a slight tartness to it. Nice spicey taste, a little lemon and a slight tartness that isnt overdone at all. Light in texture, easy drinking. Overall a solid saison, thanks Jake for the hook-up!

750ml bottle 1468/11950 (Wine and Cheese Place-St. Louis)-Pours a hazy yellow with a husge white head. Aroma of yeast, spices, brett, and grains. Taste of the same with the spices and brett coming through a lot more in the middle of the mouthfull. This medium bodied brew is very well balanced and done very well. Great brew.

750ml corked and caged bottle. Pours a hazy golden orange with a nice white head. Aroma is spicy, earthy funkiness, lemon zest. Flavor is spicy, malty, earthy funky brett, touch of honey and grassy. Great farmhouse ale. I’d love to have a few more bottles of this one.
