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 sampled. Pours a hazy yellow with a one finger white head. Aroma of lemon, malt, caramel, citrus, and some spices. Flavor is quite mellow and smooth with citrus, lemon, yeast, earthy hops, and a hint of funkiness with a very dry finish

Batch #1 bottled in June. Pours with a lusty head, foamy and white, very nice. Light berry notes and grassy aromas waft off the top, along with yeasty notes and slight hoppy scents. The brew itself is abrupt, a nice flavor which yeilds a drying souring finish. Not too bad, probably a little better after aged a little longer.

Pours a thick cloudy orange with a little white head that dissipates given time. Aroma was rather unappealing seemingly overly yeasty and skunked. Flavor, however, was a remarkable turn around. Nice sweet light malt flavor followed by a dose of sourness. I can only imagine what this is going to be like toward the end of its lifespan (labeled at 2 years). Finish is drier than any other beer I have ever had placing it much more in the realm of wine dryness.

I wish I would give this a better rating, the aroma score tanks it though.

Medium bodied with an average carbonation and light dry texture. Light to moderated sweet and acidic flavor. Light sour fruity finish.

Bottled. An unclear golden beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of fruit, but also with a light notes of brettanomyces. The flavor is sweet malty with quite strong notes of fruit and citrus as well as light notes of milk, leading to a dry spicy finish.

Bottle, Where’s the Brett? Drank this bottle after letting it sit out and warm up for a while . Hmm the aroma was very light, for a dry hopped and brett finished brew. No real funky notes or hop character. Slight straw and other farmhouse characteristics, with some bready yeast notes. Slight hops on the finish to create some bitterness, finishes quite dry as a saison should. I don’t know that I would drink this brew at the end of the world, but it was not bad thank MrRomero.

Bottle. Hazy yellow coloured with a white head. Fruity aroma of spices. Fruity flavour of yeast, spices, grass, hops and pine needles. Hoppy and yeasty finish.
