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.

Courtesy of douglas88. Pours clear gold with white head and some sheet lacing. The aroma is bold and assertive with apples, modest sourness, tartness, a modest spicy wood note and some apricot. The taste is punchy with fruity notes of apple, apricot, some pear and then searing tartness to midway. The tartness attains some acidity and gets dry and puckery with a tart bit of a grapefruit like quality.

Dog Days of Summer Gathering light golden, white head. champagne yeast profile with tropical fruits, mild bitterness, some lingering funk/brett, citrus finish, dry palate with some acidic notes. The barrel use adds a nice mild wood dimension to this beer, definitely giving it a more sour aspect that I am not used to seeing in saisons.

First off, a huge thanks to Eric for sending me a bottle. Secondly, screw you Eric for not asking for anything in return. Seriously, I have enough trouble sleeping at night and now I must figure out how to repay your awesomeness... The beer itself is delightful and the pour is rather striking. Fuzzy golden blonde in color with a finger of creamy white head. Bright nose is citrus filled, sours, light grassey notes, lemon, and more fruitiness. Crisp taste is an explosion of tartness, tropical fruit, a little wheat presence, and lightly woody. The way the carbonation fits in is just sublime. More sour than saison, but delightful. This rocks & so does Eric!

2010 750ml bottle from Squatters, 7.3% ABV
Appearance: Slightly hazy yellow/golden with a nice white head that dissipates fairly quickly, leaving some lacing in the glass. Bubbles in the glass look like a champagne, they continue along time after the pour
Aroma: Tart fruits, brett, yeasty and barnyard
Taste: Similar to the aroma. Some sharp tart flavors at the first, then some bitterness in the finish
Very nice Saison, with some nice complexity. Very crisp and clean.

Bottle thanks to the Utah beer tasting. Pours out a straw topped with a nice head. Aroma was of lots of brett, light spice, and some sweetness. Taste more of the brett along with some tartness. A tasty brew not your normal Saison.

Bottle shared by tytoanderso originally from footbalm, thanks everyone. 2008 750mL cork&cage. Pours a very hazy, lightly still looking, slick yellow color with a halo lacing. Aroma is very similar to Cuvee de Castleton. Its lemon-y bretty cobwebs, funky, some light grapefruit juice as well. There is a light cereal graininess behind all that to round it off. Tasting the beer starts off with a spritz-y, tingling mouthfeel. This actually gets in the way a bit because the flavor is very delicate. Taste has light lemon bursts within a delicate Belgian ale that’s lightly floral. Flavor is nice but does not have live up to the aroma. Really nice brew from Utah, that’s right UTAH! 9/4/7/3/17
Well this beer got even better. 2008 shared by Matt, loving the beer again. The flavor is much more tart and drying in the flavor, much better than the previous bottle. Herbal brett with brett-tartness just loved it. 9/49/9/4/17. I will make this the current rating.

Nose of light belgian spices, mildly funky yeastiness, oak, and citrusy hoppiness; cloudy yellow with a big, glass-lacing white head; flavor is lightly tart, lightly sweet, woody oak, and citrus; tickle your tongue carbonationm and a lightly funky finish; great stuff! A well balanced saison! 8/4/9/4/17 4.2 Rerate on 5/7/13
