| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 28, 2008 750ml bottle: Hazy copper hue with an okay head and lace. The aroma has notes of moderate brett and lacto funk and acidity, grassy hops, biscuity pale malts, some grapefruit and dragonfruit, and a hint of grains of paradise. The taste is expected sour and oaky with some fruity tones supported by pale malts. The mouth feel is very sprite and lively, refreshing but a tad thin. Not too shabby, a good summer beer.

Caramel dark brown amber in color with a thin white head. Smell is sweet and a touch funky as well. Flavor is light and mild with a tiny hop presence and yet a touch more funk here too. Overall, decent just not as bold as I’d hoped for. Taverner (886), San Ramon, California, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Jul 14, 2008 Updated: Nov 30, 2008 OMG - I think I’m in love. This beer is a perfect marriage of bretts and hops. Dry like a good saison should be, full of bretts like a good sour and full of hops like an IPA! Pours a copper with minimal head. Aroma is bretts and hops. Flavor is the acidic sourness from the yeast and hoppy bitterness from the hops. Floral hops abound in this one. I can taste notes of hay and grass, farmhouse, leafy autumn evenings and freshly mowed lawns. By the way, this is not a Bitter, but a Saison. I don’t remember Bretts being part of a Bitter.

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jul 13, 2008 750 provided by Dalekliz from her recent trip, thank you Liz, I’ve been looking for this for a while, not the style that intrigued me but the brewery’s style. Batch 267, 268. Pours dark amber with a 2 finger frothy smooth tan head. Nose is malty and sweet with some nice funk. The taste is very much a bitter with added JP funkyness. Damn this is a great beer, lots of character here. DragonStout (1380), Pataskala, Ohio, USA
