Bottle. A- Subtle funk, spices, citrus, earthy. A- Yellow color, hazy liquid,white head. T- Funky, sour, tart, subtle spice, citrus, earthy. P- Medium body, average texture, medium carbonation, tart finish. O- Had this quite fresh so the Brett was pretty relaxed and the funk wasn’t too overpowering yet. I loved the Tank 7 and even though this is supposed to be what seems most consider to be the bigger better version of that, I still like Tank 7 better. A very good saison, but not my favorite.

750 ml bottle. 2013 vintage. Golden color with a ton of floating sea monkeys suspended in the liquid. Aroma is aroma is citrusy, with Brett and dusty yeast. Flavor is dusty Belgian yeast with a mild flowery hint. The Brett has taken over at this point with the flower and citrus being a secondary note at this juncture. The finish is musty with light citrus crispness. Pretty nice.

Enormous bang as I ease the cork out, but no gushing. Vast offwhite head over hazy yellow body with fast carbonation. Strong resiny funky aroma with meaty herbal freshly cut wood notes. Dry-sweet spicy herbal resiny taste with freshly cut wood, old cheese, and barnyard notes. Mid-bodied. Sharpish, strongly fizzy mouthfeel. Dryish barnyard and cheese and resin aftertaste with herbal wooden spicy notes. Lovely! Full of flavour and highly drinkable. I find the dregs round off the beer, making it sweeter and more palatable. (0.75l bottle, from the wine monopoly at Triaden, Lørenskog.)

(Bottle @ VilleValla Pub, Linköping, Dec 12 2014) Pours hazy medium gold with a huge white frothy head and lots of lace. Aroma has earthy moderately funky Brett, floral and herbal hops (Amarillo I guess), bit of orange oil, touch of white wine too, wildflower honey sweetness, and a strange almost ammonia-like undertone when warm that is probably a funny funk note and doesn’t really distract. Flavour sweetish at first, orange juice, pale malt, florals, touch mineral, drying, Brett is mildly funky and earthy, touch smoky? Finish quite dry, not very bitter, dusty yeast, herbal/floral with a touch of orange oil. Medium body with super soft effervescent carb. Not super funky for a Brett saison and still has some bright new world hops, but the balance with a little sweet malt makes for a pretty complex beer that is interesting while being really easy to drink.

Looks cloudy golden with a creamy white head finger that sticks around. Nose of sour lemons, hay malts, little rock candy. Whoa brett sour! Bitter sour with bread malts and some citrus, mild sweetness on the follow up.
