RERATE: 750ml bottle shared at brewpub. Color was much less hazy then last time I had this on tap. Brett character certainly more noticeable. Actually enjoyed this a lot. The first time I had it It must have been sucking just the yeast sediment.
hopdog (4779), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 26, 2008 750ml bottle enjoyed at the Bullfrog Brew Pub. Poured a deeper and hazy yellow / golden color with a large sized white head. Aromas of lighter mustiness, yeast, some fruitiness, and earthy. Tastes of citrus, earthy, lighter fruitiness, some bread, and light spices. Some Brett in there that came out a little more as it warmed up, but overall on the subtle and softer side. CaptainCougar (4687), Rockville, Maryland, USA Oct 19, 2008 Bottle: Pours a transparent deep golden with a large, pillowy froth of clumpy-lacing white head. Aroma of sweet pale biscuity malts and a touch of grassy hops and mild brett. Body starts with good fullness and sweet doughy malts with some lemony citrus character and clove spice before a drier, slightly earthy bitter finish. Fairly smooth and very true to style. A nice saison. DocLock (4175), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 19, 2008 Bottle via PUB’N. Pours turbid dark straw orangy with 3-finger creamy white head and wonderful head shapes upon repouring. Nose is funky yeasty spicy esters, chessy feety notes, earthy florals. Tastes a bit tart, very floral, earthy, with cobwebby esters, grainy malty notes, and a dry finish. Very unique palate, very fluffy, Simcoe hoppy, floral, earthy, and yeasty spicy. This one is very good. CharlesDarwin (1442), State College, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 16, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. Very distant watery sugar nose. Bland. Pours a heavily clouded wheaty gold, with a supery lace sheen of white foam
covering the beer and the glass walls. Meaty. Alcoholic and sparse. Bitter. Spices and phenols are coarse. Thin. The
body doesn’t hold up to the coarse alcohols and yeast products. The yeast comes across as flabby and a bit old. Just
not interesting or well made. Much inferior to the Beesting.
