First beer we tasted of the night revealed a murky golden color. Aromas were a bit citrusy and funky due to the added Brett. Very flavorful with citrus, yeast, bitter hops, and smooth finish. Prefer this over the original RB. Tasty.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 13, 2009 Bottle tasted a few days ago. Pours a slightly hazy golden color, with rocky white head. The brett is quite noticable, with lots of tart and barnyard funk going on. Lemon zest, hay, light fruit, herbal hops, and a touch of spice. Very nicely done, will be good to see how the brett develops. bu11zeye (5608), Frisco, Texas, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 11, 2009 From bottle at Sinner’s and Saint’s Party. Young and tannic bitter, and a little phenolic, which I guess is to be expected from a saison, but just pales in comparison to other Lost Abbey saisons, like Carnevale. I suspect it’s yound and will be awesome soon enough. dalekliz (546), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 11, 2009 Bottle at Sinner’s and Saint’s party. Pours a murky, light amber with a thick, foamy white head. Aroma is tart and spicy, of spiced, preserved lemons, yeast, and malt. Taste is clean and quite spicy, with hops, malt, citrus. Lingering spice. Nice, but should be better after it ages a bit. WeeHeavySD (3016), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 11, 2009 Bottle at Sinner’s and Saint’s Party last night. I can only assume that this is Red Barn Spiked with Brett. Its good, but the brett on this one without a doubt needs some time to set in, right now its a touch sharp. Pours orange with a bright white head. Nose is slightly bretty, tart, and light. Taste is sweet, bitter, hopped and a touch spiced.
