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.

Sampled at DØE Beerfestival 2009, Valby. Pours an unclear yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is fruits with notes of esters. The flavor is likewise fruit with a little alcohol. The palate is sweet, and overall this is a very sweet beer.

Batch 2. Clear golden-yellow, fluffy white head. Aroma is musty, barnyard brett, lemons, oranges, sweet maltiness. Taste is sweet, pale malts, light but drying brett funk in the finish. Seems a little too sweet despite the brett.

鼮ml batch 2 March 2008 thanks to ballewblake) Pours a hazy pale yellow with a foamy head that lingers around. Nose is lemon zest, sour, earthy, and a mild funkiness. Tastes quite lemony, sour, brett. Finishes dry with a very fine carbonation, and the funk lingers around in the mouth a while too.

750ml bottle from the Liquor Shop in Tyngsborro, Mass. Pours a murky yellow-amber with a good inch of off-white head that slowly dissipates to a thin film. Smells sweet and sour, with hints of citrus and apple. Tastes sweet with lemon, pith, acidity, some sour apple/cider character... Hard to describe... Light bodied with plenty of carbonation. Awesome and funky, that’s all I can say. I’d love to see how it ages.

Cork bomb! Pours A dark orange, with a hint of staw and gold. The head is white and rather tall, but disapates after a few sips. The aroma is very funky< yet very hard to describe. Some qualities in the aroma are very noticeable, such as a champagne esc scent.Very farmhouse-y minus the fact that it is 8%. The flavor is sweet at times yt lacks flavor at others. The alcohol isnt as present as some of the other super saisons I have tried recently. Not overly sweet which is what I look for in a saison.
