Apr 7, 2008 Maybe this mellowed in the four months I’ve had it. Maybe it was always mellow. I expected more from the "funk" label and the yeast strain. A fairly mild Saison. Not funky at all. Nice aroma. Medium taste. Maybe it has more of the funk I like when it is fresher. Bring on the funk!

Apr 6, 2008 Nose of sweat and Bret. Lemon meringue pie ... hazy yellow gold with a firm fluffy white head; head vanishes, leaving some lacing. Taste is funky sour, slightly yeasty, slightly ginger spicing, as advertised. Nicely hopped. Not killer, but nice. Silly name, offensive label. My label anything with a mushroom cloud? And if you must, this is only 8%; hardly ommegeddon ...

Apr 5, 2008 750 ml bottle from a trade with mcbackus. batch #1 june 2007 vint. pours murky golden with a big white head. aromas are yeaty and funky with hops also present. flavours are belgian yeast with some funk and hops thrown in for good measure. a bit weak overall with a slightly fizzy mouthfeel. pretty good but not overly great in any way.

Apr 3, 2008 Batch #1, June 2007, rated on 4/3/2008, pours a clear yellow gold with a decent head and clingy lace. The aroma is lemon and wet leather. The flavor is malty, slightly spiced, and fairly sweet. I’m looking for Saison, but I’m tasting Belgian Ale. OK, once it warms a bit, there’s some more yeasty inclinations – but not much. More spice shows through (coriander). Not much brett in this. Brothy body - true to the Pilsner construction. Overall, this falls short of some of what it claims to be. Drinkable, but not as per style.

Apr 3, 2008 On tap @ Cole’s.
Aroma has grapefruit, lemon and mild spice, hazy yellow, tiny white head. Flavour is a citrus mix, some nice malt and a very yeasty bitterness. Light bodied, very well balanced, tart, quite drying , almost dusty yet refreshing, dances on the tongue. Terrific!
