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.

GABF 2007. A hazy light golden beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of citrus as well as brettanomyces. The flavor is sweet with notes of wheat and citrus as well as lighter notes of spices, leading to a dry wheaty and brettanomyces finish.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of bu11zeye. Pours a slightly hazy yellow with a tall and lively shaving foam style head leaving laces. Dry and citrusy Brett aroma. Medium body, dry Brett accents and some sweet fruits. Dry finish. Explosive - the cork shot out by itself once the wire was removed! 010509

Hazy blonde. Good froth on it. Gorgeous nose - footy, fruity, yeasty, very bretty, earthy and tart. Nice beer - many of these characteristics follow through, with a nice bitter orange character on the palate. Very yeasty finish. Cool.
