Bottle thanks to Hoff. Pours clear golden yellow with tons of bubbles rising to the surface and with a huge off-white cloudy head that sticks around forever and eventually leaves thick sticky lacing. Aroma is brett, grass, a touch of citrus, perhaps honey, biscuit. Flavor is citrusy and lightly sweet and lightly bitter with a significant funky Brett presence, along with a touch of lemon zest in the finish. ABV comes out in the finish and gives you a bit of a sharp alcohol jolt. Light body, very carbonated and bubbly mouthfeel. A very nice beer that could be better if the ABV were a little lower.

750 ml corked and caged bottle. 2011 vintage, Bottle #11107. Pours clear golden with floating impurities and a huge white soapy head that recedes slowly, leaving patchy lace. Aroma is awesomely bretty; smells lilke dusty old books, lemons, barnyard funk. Taste is sweet and finishes dry and bitter. Highly carbonated with a foamy mouthfeel. Smells better than it tastes, not that it tastes bad. It’s a good beer.

Bottle (Batch 2009-2) at THE sours & saisons tasting (part 1). It pours hazy orange, with a massive white head. The nose is big on the funky brett, orange, tangerine, kumquat, wood, earth and farmyard. The taste is dough, spice, earth, quite delicate actually, distinguished brett character, orange citrus fruit, pithy, minerals, and faint herbal notes. Medium body, moderate carbonation and velvety mouth-feel. A couple of years of aging has really enhanced the brett character. Complex, well-balanced and very flavoursome. A great Saison.
