[750 ml bottle] My first experience with this brewery. Pours a nice golden yellow color, with a slight haze. Dense foam tops the glass and sticks around for quite a while. Aroma of grassy hops and potent brett character. Strong aroma of pineapple fruit--definitely brett-related. Flavors are spicy and full of hops, with a nice dose of interesting brett funk thrown into the mix. Super dry finish, which I personally like. Very well done and balanced, making this super drinkable.

Dec 18, 2009 Bottle: Dirty straw, dark, sudsy white head, sparce lacing. Musty nose, basement, slight raspberry and floral dank. Pale barnish notes, slight straw and hay. This one seems rarher dull. Yeah, straight forward, barnish, very soft floral aspect. This one seems more bready than floral. Body and mouthfeel are average... Not very spritzy nor bright. This one is much duller than expected. Was expecting a bit more from this one. Not a bad beer, just your average American Saison.

Nov 22, 2009 750ml Bottle at the Cheeky Monk Belgian Cafe, Denver 26/09/2009
Hoppy slightly sour and floral berry fruit aroma. Big white head. Golden coloured strong in alcohol and hazy in appearance with a little dryness and bitterness in a crisp malt finish.
The ideal way to start GABF Saturday, this went down perfectly at breakfast accompanying the excellent Belgian waffles with mixed berries and sour cream!

Aroma is sweet and spicy with a good amount of funky yeast and some fruit (citrus & tropical). Flavour: Yup, tastes like a nice funky Saison, right on style -- very refreshing and flavourful. Medium bodied. Really great and very well made.

Nov 9, 2009 750mL bottle. Poured clear, paler golden with a gigantic cap of whipped white head.. settled down after a while and looked great. The aroma was very fragrant with dry, spicy Brett, floral, and fruity notes over a pale and bready malt base.. a bit of a musty presence from the bugs worked well.. balance was spot-on. The flavor opened with tart oaky notes, lighter fruits, and dusty Brett, with bready malts and a touch of fruit rolling onto the core.. the Brett and a little cardboard really took over and enveloped the mouth.. peppery on the back-end with a whole bunch of floral. Medium-bodied and well-carbonated on the palate.. bone-dry and just the slightest touch sour (both good things here).. this came together very well and I’d be glad to drink a lot more!

Nov 8, 2009 750mL bottle. Pours a bright, murky grapefruit color; huge, textured white head with great retention and lacing; nice pour. Very nicely bretty, citrus and mineral character in the aroma; dry, citrus acidity, with a well developed funky brettiness; quite dry. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: lots of citrus, brett (lime, toastiness), white pepper; heavy carbonation, effervescence; very lively, fluffy presences; lots of yeast and peppery citrus; excellent, mouthwatering. Medium finish: toasty, bretty, citrus; nicely dry; excellent vibrant saison.
