Mar 25, 2008 Thanks to Fly for sharing this nice saison!
Pours hazed yellowish orange with a small filmy white head.
Smell is light and dusty, bretty, and some faintly sweet malt. Taste is mild and dusty with faintly tart malt, a bit of earthy hops and a mild bretty influence. Medium bodied and a bubbly mouthfeel. Pretty nice stuff!

Mar 20, 2008 A good example of a style not favored. Cloudy straw body with fleeting white head. Nose is fruity and spicy. Very biting in the mouth. Acidic. May be one that will improve with age. Nothing I’d seek out again.

Mar 17, 2008 Bottle poured into a Trappist glass. OO pours a delicate cloudy yellow like a witbier. The head is large and frothy. An aroma of lemon and hay is pretty strong and has a fruity acid tone. The body is thin and dry. It’s tart more like citrus peel or zest than the meat. It is highly carbonated and the alcohol mixes with the spicy hops to create a floral flavor that enhances as the beer warms to its intended temperature. The finish is quick but a slight tart after taste lingers.

Mar 17, 2008 750 mL bottle, batch 1. Pours bright gold with lots of effervescence and a bubbly white head. The aroma is earthy brett, zest, mild pepper, and a hint of cookies. The flavor is tart at first, but it is tempered with a light fruitiness. It gets very earthy with a slight floral hint, with just a bit of malty sweetness. The finish is very dry, with a bit of spiciness and some heat. Good stuff.

Mar 14, 2008 bottle (batch 1) from West Lakeview Liquors.....appearance of a golden yellow orange with a frothy white head that diminishes after settling....aromas of lemon zest and tart barnyard funkiness but mildly so (wonder if more of this will come out in time)..... very tart refreshing while maintaining a sweet belgian style malt backbone while still allowing some of the brett to peak its way through.

Mar 10, 2008 Cloudy gold, aroma of barnyard, herbs, fruit. Relatively smooth but funky with the brett...spicy, fruity, not giant in the mouth but different. Sampled in bottles and on tap.

Mar 9, 2008 I’ve been sitting on this one ever since it originally came out in bottles. I figure it’s high time I open it up. Quiet pop when I pull out the cork. Honey/straw color with a moderate white head. Cloudy but not chunky. Very funky aroma. Some wet hay and lemon in there as well. The flavor is as funky as the aroma. A pleasant sourness comes through and the finish is very dry. In between all that I get some light pear and hint of honey. Very nice.

Mar 9, 2008 Bomber. Batch #1. Tastes a lot more like a quality Saison than the Weyerbacher Muse I just had. I have more in the cellar so I’ll re-rate this in about a year. I just coudn’t wait though. I’ve been hankering for some good funky/sour Belgians and this was the best I had. Pours golden with no head but lots of fizz. Slight notes of the brett funkiness, but not very strong. Crisp, tart and yeasty. Not bad.
