Fifth Element was brewed December 2007 and laid down to age in oak barrels January 2008. It has light peach/fruit notes and a beautiful golden hue. High carbonation created during bottle conditioning gives it a champagne like texture on the pallet. It finishes slightly tart and cleansing.

750 ml bottle thanks to Sledutah. Got this last summer. Sticker has June 2011 vintage. Used a snifter. Clear yellow with constant carbonation, which produces a thick ¼ inch head. Nose of Brett and funky yeast. Taste has a lot going on. Sour apples, pilsner malt, Brett and a good amount of oak wood. Mild sourness. Good pucker. The sourness does have a good lingering affect in the finish. Real dry finish. I like the Squatters 529 a bit better. I prefer the Flemish style a bit more. This is still a real nice sour.

Clear gold color. Light malt in the aroma, not much in the aroma at all. Flavor has some butter, some sweetness. Well carbonated but maybe not ready for consumption, because it was not sour at all.

750 ml bottle shared by mreusch. 2008 Release. The pour is golden yellow, with a half inch white head - slightly hazed with active looking carbonation. The aroma is light grain with a cilantro element and bright citrus yeastiness. Active, alive nose. Taste is bright tart lemon citrus, earthy straw, some of the cilantro yeastiness finishing with the straw. The yeast has a touch of funk to it, which is quite pleasant. Overall, this is a well crafted Saison that has some pleasant sour / tart characteristics. Palate is medium bodied with a lower carbonation level. Bright clean finish. A bit of butter comes out in the long finish as it warms. Thanks for sharing this one Matt, it had been on the want list forever.
