Jan 1, 2010 Bottle No. 05596 of 13,400 in 2009. Consumed 12/31/2009. Pours a light, hazy orange with sizeable head, sticking around awhile. Aroma of citrus, floral hops, yeast - very flavorful yet pleasant. Slight malt & spice presence - just right for me. Moderately carbonated with excellent, complex flavor with no part being overwhelming. Finish is fruity, crisp and dry - very appealing with alcohol hidden quite well. This is a world-class offering in my opinion - great brew by the Boulevard crew. Well worth the wait until New Year’s Eve and well worth the price - SALUDE!

Dec 30, 2009 Hazy peach pour with a big frothy head- nice looking brew. Aroma holds some definite bretty funk, yeast, orange peel, clove and other spices, and some really nice floral presence, presumably from the dry hopping. Flavor is magnificent; awesome earthy and bretty notes mix beautifully with a citrus and nectar fruit quality. Also excellent spice and yeast presence. Palate is wonderfully drinkable, but still complex, for a bretted beer. Excellent stuff, my favorite saison so far.

Dec 30, 2009 Courtesy of craftycarl21- thanks dude. Hazy golden pour with gratuitous white froth that forms a web like lattice of eye pleasing funken glory. The aroma is bursting with juicy brett notes, grassy floral notes, earthen dankness, fruity dough, farm, pasture, and a citrusy hop profile. Flavor is like nothing I’ve ever had before. Massive fruit notes manifest in mandarin, pineapple, and nectar. The brett character is pleasantly tart and earthy with backnotes of herbs. Palate is fluffy and pillowy, but quite full for the style. The finish is juicy and moderately slippery. Best. Saison. Ever.

Dec 29, 2009 Appearance: Poured a cloud, vibrant yellow gold with a sudsy white head.
Aroma: Light citrus and funk. The funk was like rain water and rust.
Taste: Spice, metal, and dry and fruity yeast.
Mouthfeel: Fizzy and full.
Overall: Really good, well crafted, and would probably enjoy this in warmer months, with the beer slightly more chilled than I had it (65-70 degrees I think.)

Dec 26, 2009 Huge foamy white head. Aroma is very very similar to 1 year old Orval. Flavor has more fruit, more twang, and more bite. The bite is a little too much, which is really my only problem. The bite seems like a combination of alcohol, tartness, and maybe minerallyness. The tart could be fine, but with the other too mixed in, it is a little much. Maybe it just needs a year or so.
