A not so traditional Farmhouse saison or ‘seasonal’ style beer brewed to develop complex fruitiness and acidity. Brettanomyces yeast is added, which over time diminishes the malt and hop character and accentuates the dry, fruity & spicy characteristics.

Bottle. Pours hazy straw with small white head. Clear aroma of citrus and hops, with notes of bretta and hints of malt. Sourish, vinous flavour with notes of hops and touches of bretta and malt and some funky notes. Vinous aftertaste. Decent.

Draught at BeerTemple. Lacing, medium thick, egg-white head over a deep, warm, orangey golden blonde beer. Aroma of overripe peach, damp hay, pineapple, chicken soup, yoghurt, sherry, cantaloupe and, alas, ureum. Very estery taste, peachy, gooseberry, yoghurt tartness accompanying this strong fruitiness over a soft, smooth, honeyish malt backbone; tartness dries the finish along with a hint of peppery hops. Interesting, but more a modern era sour ale than a true saison.

Location: 750 ml bottle from Whole Foods - Bowery, 12/15/15
Aroma: Has a fairly fruity / citrus aroma, lots of spice coming through, and some funk too
Appearance: Pours a murky yellowish-orange color with a fizzy, foamy head and heavy lace
Flavor: Gets funkier on the flavor, a mild sweetness is overrun by the bitter and funky flavors
Palate: It has a medium body, a rather fizzy carbonation, and a sharp, dry finish
Overall Impression: This is a solid brett Saison, but not up there with the best of the style for me. The flavors feel just a bit lacking in clarity, or sharpness, or just overall excellence of execution. It is a really dry and yeasty beer overall. Hard to say what makes it good vs. great. A bit too much carbonation takes away a bit from the enjoyment as well. Still, this is an enjoyable beer.

Bottle. Slightly hazy, golden honey color. Aroma: old cheese, something sweet, like honey, fruit and fruit vinegar, strawberries, pears, wine, alcoholic esters. Taste: initial mild sweetness and maltiness, wine, champagne, alcohols, grapes, fruit and a little bitterness.

375ml bottle. Cloudy, nicely dirty, orangey golden colour with average to huge, fluffy, frothy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Damn fucking complex and variegated, sweet-ish fruity, spicy, bretty aroma, notes of apricot and peach, mirabelle, nectarine, varied in all possible stages of maturity from unripe to overripe, therefore peppery spicy and tart components, rather ephemeral bretty notes with well-known sweet-ish bubblegum touch, hints of red berries, especially strawberry; a dusty touch of white pepper, hints of vinegar, grapes and white wine. Taste is initially dry hoppy, intensely peppery spicy yeasty, white pepper, notes of dry white wine, background-ish fruity sweetness gains weight and contributes to a harmonious general impression at least from the middle part on, likewise a plethora of yellow stone fruit flavours with mild tartness; viscid palate, lively carbonation. Saison with tremendous complexity and wicked wild and dirty touch. Boss!

Keg @ Port Street Beer House, Manchester. Pours murky yellowy orange, no head. Aroma is yeast and brett. Taste is smooth farmhouse cider, almost no carbonation, faint sour with no saison characteristics whatsoever. A bit mucky and possibly tastes past its best. Unless it’s actually supposed to taste like this?
