Boulevard Saison Brett

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

25oz bottle courtesy of mreusch, big thanks Matt! Batch 2008-1. Big pop from the cork, very lively heading into the glass, big rush of foam that quickly dissipates into 1/8" ring that never dies. Big fruity aroma with a nice blast of brett. Brett really powers through the flavor when cold, as it warms it falls back a little but still is a driving force. Some nice herbal bitterness in there and a barely there malt presence. Not that I don’t like the brett, I’m just more curious about what this would be without using it to "cheat" the dryness here.

This is a new beer for me; very interesting and I will buy more; reported to be very good for storage. Poured a hazy organe color with very big sparkling head and nice laces. Orange aroma definite presence of alcohol. Very nice drikable brew! Not sure what the Brett effect is but this is a very interesting beer. citrus, hay, basement aromas, alcohol, hazy, frothy, white foam, very bitter, medium sweetness, lively, medium body, bitter, long finish,

Bottle... Poured hazy, pale golden with a huge white head. Funky brett and grains on the nose. Wheat notes with mild bitterness and tangy fruits to counter. Grape-like fruits and an earthy, barnyard funk quality overall. Cracker-like, souring finish.

(750 ml bottle #05577 of 13400) yellow gold with very generous white head. Floral, some hay, yeasty aroma. Flavor is light fruit, floral hops, a little grassy. Very dry finish.

Rich, thick cloudy nectarine color. A mass of visible sediment swirls around in the glass below the persistent 3+" cloud white head. Aroma of yeast and wood primarily. Full bitter sweet yeasty flavor with a musty finish. The character is not heavy, but full. There is a slight fizz on the finish. A bit dry ending beckons for the next sip.

Bottle no. 157. Had a heck of a time trying to get the cork out of this one... Pours a nice pale orange color with a small head that sits pretty atop the beer. Tiny little bits of yeast floaties throughout the beer. Orange again in the aroma, from the dry hops - nice. A little spicy and flowery, too. Flavor is very pleasant. Slightly dry, definitely citrusy, with a little background touch of tartness and brett. Palate is lightly sparkling. A nice brew here, and very drinkable for its 8.5% - I didn’t notice at all until I started getting a little buzzed by the end of the bottle...

Bottle. Pour is rich, almost clear golden color with a medium white head. Aroma is honey, hay, grass, lightly spicy, and orange. Flavor is spicy, rich, very subtle brett, and nicely floral. Not as much brett as expected but still an awesome beer. Really rich and full saison.

Pale hazy yellow with a huge white head. Extremely refreshing aroma with passion fruit loaded american hops and light brett in the background. Mouthfeel has what we sweds call "små fina bubblor" which translates into something like pretty awsome mouthfeel. Flavour is peach, pinetree, oranges, lemons and all other sort of exotic fruit imaginable. Rather light and very fresh with a clean crisp and pleasantly bitter ending.
