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.

Hazed orange pour and a foamy white head. Sweet acidic lemon aroma. Taste is a bit toned down from the aroma not quite having as much sour aspects to it; but is somewhat tart. Very crisp beer with a clean finish.

750ml bottle that is well over a year old, was there only one bottling of this? Holy hell... watch your face when opening. I barely had the cage off when the cork exploded at high velocity and knocked paint off the ceiling. Pours a slightly hazy glowing yellow gold with a big white rocky foamy head. Aroma is lightly sweet fruity and botanical, touches of brett and alcohol. Flavor follows aroma, lightly sweet cereal, just a touch sour and spicy, either from the ginger, brett or both, alcohol sometimes detectable, very dry bitter hop finish. Medium/light bodied with corse uniform smaller carbonation, slightly milky.

Tasting thanks to Butter 3rd Cellar Reduction. Bring the funk. Tart lemon juice. Fresh ginger. Much better the last time I had it. This bottle is about a year old. So maybe some bottle age helps. Its really rounded out. Much better balance. It gone from a no to a recommendation in my book.

Bottle shared at the 6th Cellar Reduction. Pours a hazy golden straw with large white head. Nose is tart, citrus, bready yeast. Flavor is nice lemony with a good refreshing effervescence. Very good example of style.

Pours a cloudy orange with white head. Sour/lemon tarty aroma with some citrus, grass. Very earthy and funky. Lemon tart up front leads way to a creamy citrus finish. Very smooth finish for a saison.

Pours an off-white head with a hazy gold body. Smells of malt, acid, and ginger. Flavor is zest, acid, ginger, and malt. Palate is fading but the ginger lasts.

Bottled @ København Ølfestival 2009. The aroma has fruits like aprikot and citrus, cheese and yeast. Slightly hazy, yellow coloured beer with a white head. The taste is very fruity (lemon, aprikot) with some cheesy, earthy yeast. Good, refreshing saison.

Bottle. Hazy yellow colour with a medium white head. Rich aroma and taste of malts, herbs and spices. Mild biiter finish.
