Commercial Description:
Belgian pale & pilsner malts w/ Styrian Golding for bittering and Saaz for aroma. Ginger predominates the spicing. Fermented in primary with Ommegang's house yeast, followed by secondary with Brettanomyces bruxellensis. Dry-hopped in secondary w/ a blend of hops; Tettnang being the stand-out. The flavor profile is very herbal with an earthy undertone (very fitting for a Belgian-style farmhouse ale). The dry finish and pronounced hop aromas hide the 8% abv very well. Dangerously drinkable for its strength and character.

Bottle - 750mL corked and caged. Neck tag shows Batch #1, June 2007. So I guess this is well aged! I originally sampled this at Max’s Belgian Beer Fest back in February, but neglected to enter the rating. The I got bottles a month or so after that and have been sitting on it since. Hazy golden pour with a tall, fluffy white head. Not a lot of lacing with this. Aroma is very yeasty and funky but not too extreme. Grass, earth, floral hops, peppery spice, and dust make up the rest of the aroma. Taste is slightly tart and very funky with strong yeast, dry malts, grass, flowers, earth, some leather, old books and spices. Almost some medicinal bitterness in spots. Body is light and bubbly. Strong carbonation at times. Dusty and dry around the edges. The finish adds a touch more hops to this. Stronger yeast, dried fruits, spices, earth notes, grass, flowers and soft funk are all noticed during the finish. Rather tasty and a wonderful summer beer!

Had this one while watching the Cowboys win Sunday night over the Packers. Light tan color. Aromas of yeast, hops, and sweet malt. Flavor is very well balanced, with spicy hops, and a finish that starts off sweet and ends with bitter hops. Very smooth, and the alcohol is well concealed. A fine beer.

Pours dark murky straw, nice receding frothy white head. Aroma is fizzy dirt and flowers, some citrus and a bit of dark fruit. Thicker mouthfeel than expected, with a bit too much carbonation. Taste is mostly dirty citrus and grass. Tart, slightly dry finish.

Great breadlike aroma with a hint of the funk they talk about in a good way. Flavor is complex. Sweet and sour with a dry hop finish. Alcohol is very well hidden.

750ml baled and caged. Great bready yeasty aroma. NIce smelling. The taste is pretty wacky a lot going on in this beer. It definitely lives up to its description. An interesting brew that I am glad to have tried but probably won’t buy again

Pours a hazy gold with a dissolving white head. Definite farmhouse, horse hoof aroma, coupled with Saison spiciness.Flavor is balanced and spicey. I little tart fruitiness, possibly from the ginger. Medium bodied and very drinkable.
