500 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 8/5/2016. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy deep golden amber color with a 2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big juicy, lightly tart/tangy plums, fruit skin/pits, peach, pear, apricot, lemon, lime, orange, pineapple, mango, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, peppercorn, oak, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, and white bread dough; with lighter notes of leathery/musty/lacto funk, and yeast/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of plums, fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast, oak, and pale/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy, lightly tart/tangy plums, fruit skin/pits, peach, pear, apricot, lemon, lime, orange, pineapple, mango, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, peppercorn, oak, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, and white bread dough; with lighter notes of leathery/musty/lacto funk, and yeast/oak earthiness. Light-moderate peppery Brett/oak tannin spiciness, fruity/lactic tartness, and fruit tang on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy plums, fruit skin/pits, peach, pear, apricot, lemon, lime, orange, pineapple, mango, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, peppercorn, oak, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light leathery/musty/lacto funk, and yeast/oak earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of plums, fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast, oak, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with an awesome malt/spicy/tartness, and tangy fruit balance; with zero puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering tart/spiciness, tangy fruit, and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/grainy, acidic/tangy, and fairly tannic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 6.5%. Overall this is a fantastic fruited sour/wild saison. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of plums, fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast, oak, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, refreshing, and fairly crisp to drink with the mellowly acidic/tangy/spicy/drying finish; not overly lactic. Fantastic balance between juicy plums and Brett/Bacteria complexity; with great oak foeder presence, and pale/wheat malts against acidity. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and outstandingly spot on style example.
