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.

Corked bottle, aged over a year. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a thick, frothy white head. Nose of brett/funk, herbal, earthy hops and hay. Pale pils malt base with a firm, resinous noble hop bitterness plus notes of grass, lemon/citrus, hay, spice and farmhouse funk (but no sourness, though). The dry finish and medium body with spritzy carbonation is spot-on for the style. Really nice saison here.

A huge white froth sits atop a slightly hazy nectar pour with lots of effervescent bubble formation. Aroma is citrusy with loads of brett character. Leather, earth, clove, bready dough, and a great overall funk profile intermingles with some floral and herbal notes. A citrus oriented hop profile is subtle but evident. A very slight alcohol warming sneaks in the nasals with prolonged sniffs. Flavor is sweeter than imagined with citrus and brett coming through fully, Floral and herbaceous with some sweet bready malt but overall attenuated feeling. Palate is prickly, full for the style, and pretty dry. Strikes the balance of sweetness and attenuation quite nicely. Smacking but never sticky. I was quite impressed by this unique brew.

Maple colored pour with lots of carbonation and a thick, bubbly head. Aroma holds lots of spice, brett, tarragon, a bit of mint, and even some leather, probably from earthy hops. Ommegang’s regular yeast is also evident, though secondary to the brett on the nose. Flavor is quite nice; lots of brett, herbs, and dark spices like clove. Floral notes too; not a lot of sweetness, but i really dig it. Really nice palate from the brett, great brew.

This corked and caged bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a large sized head of foamy white colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a slightly hazy typically carbonated yellow colored body. The aroma was hoppy malty lemmon like and mildly floral. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of malt sour and tart. An OK brew just nothing special.
