Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: golden pale yellow to almost copper colored haziness with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which was a bit rocky in it's look and then dissipated nicely to leave some light messy lace
Aroma: sour/Brett to sweet oak with a touch of sour, then mixed citrusy character with tart orangey accents
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sour to sweet to tart arrangement with a nice finish of the oaky tart and to sour and then some oranges
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to medium, leaning towards being a sipper as some sour/tart aspects seem to get a little punchy with the tongue
Overall: I say a very nicely done sour/wild ale with oranges I would welcome again most likely in the Summer.

Batch 2, 2013. Going on 6 years old!
Pours a hazy pale gold with one heck of a nice head of foam, lacing is very good.
The smell has an awesome Brett presence, oak and some citrus. And tartness.
All 4 components in the smell are in the taste with the citrus coming through on the milder side. And this sure is dry! Tartness is what I would call, at an easy to cope with level.
Body is on the lower side of medium and the carbonation is lively but in a good way.
Yikes! I dig this!

A hazed blonde saison with a thin lacing creamy white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with loads of Brett, ground cherries, curacao, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with light Brett and grapeskin, coriander, light perfumy notes, nice and smooth. On tap at Ottawa winter brewfest 2019.
