Presupposition meets new inspiration in this Belgo-German hybrid. In addition to the dry, crisp and funky notes you’d associate with the classic saison style - and the wildly traditional use of Brettanomyces, Saixon also features three generations of German hops: old school (Hallertau Mittlefruh), second wave (Opal), and new school (Mandarina Bavaria and Hallertau Blanc). Santé? Prost? Cheers!

Musty horse blanket, lemon, white wine, biscuit malt, and fresh hay aroma. Hazy golden yellow with giant/explosive head. Lightly sweet lemon, white wine, musty malt, mildly sour Brett, and mildly bitter hay/grass flavor. Good body. Nice.

Bottle. Pours clear golden, large white head, dissipates fairly quickly leaving decent residual and lacing. Aroma is farmhouse, peppery, grassy, white grape. Flavor is fairly dry and light plus bitter. Soft bubbly mouthfeel. Pretty tasty.

750mL bottle, 2016 maybe, shared 7/29/17.
Huge amount of Brett refermentation leads to a big, foamy, white head that settles out surprisingly small and with lower retention than expected. Clear orange-golden with a hint of haze from the vigorous upswing of carbonation upon opening.
Massive, over-worked Brett in the nose with bread, white pepper, guava, papaya and other notes associated with it. It's got a bit of light bile-like character, too much clove and tons of bread. Hops are completely faded and would be hard to imagine ever manifested much given the complete Brett dominance here. Biscuity, bready malts behind it are sparse while some cidery/apple character lingers as well as more white pepper-like phenol.
In the mouth it's lightly acidic, jam-packed with tons of brett but has too much clove, white pepper, banana and cidery apple character past the basic lime and light band-aid base qualities of the Brett. Carbonation is a bit high, but not lasting, leaving a rather loose finish with light honey and mango notes lingering. Beer is kind of a mess and all over the place and there is way too much unwanted phenol/ester here, despite some of the good stuff being in there too.

Sample at Kurtkeller 026: Summer-tastic 01 on 06/25/2017. Cloudy yellow-gold color with a medium white head that diminishes gradually to an outer ring. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of funky yeast, hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of peppery yeast, funky citrus, floral hops and malt. The finish is fruity with a yeast and hops aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

750 ml bottle thanks AdamChandler on this Membership tick! Clear is not the right color, hazy gold. Aroma shows me huge amounts of Brettanomyces, light fruit. Mild fruited nuanced. Shit tons of Brett. Super bone dry texture. Maybe fresher with hops would make this more pleasant.

Pour is a hazy straw yellow color with a huge white head. Aroma is a nice hit of the funky brett with some lemon juice. Flavor is some juicy citrus flesh with a bit of green hop and a sweet berry. After the swallow I get more of a white wine and then a dry super brett finish. Nothing wrong with this saison. Plenty of flavorful sips.

Fresh sliced pear and lemon zest nose. Cloudy amber, thick head, abundant carbonation. Sweeter than expected lemon, cobwebby bone dry brett finish. Medium body, soft carbonation. Very drinkable, fairly versatile for food pairing.

750 mL bottle, shared at Jonathan’s bachelor party. Pale, hazy yellow, with a big, foamy, off-white head. Apricot and nectarines, with notes of barnyard funk, and mustiness. Off dry, with a pretty good, mild bitterness. Light to medium body, a bit astringent, and grainy. This is a smooth, refreshing and clean saison.
