The malt bill of this late 1800’s inspired Belgian ale consists of a combination of barley, oats, wheat, rye and spelt. For the fermentation we use a blend of Saison yeast with three older Brettanomyces strains. This beer aged on lavender French oak Chardonnay barrels.

Poured from a vintage 2013 750 ml bottle. Aroma is citrus forward with some light pineapple as well. Moderate lavender notes. Some light oak and white wine characteristics. Light grain notes with hints of honey. Some light pear and stone fruit as well. Pours a slightly hazy, yellow gold with a small, thin, white head that recedes quickly to the edges and disappears. No lacing or legs. Flavor has a medium light acidity, slightly sharp, with a medium light, balanced sweetness. Light grain and honey notes. Fairly fruity with citrus, tropical fruit, pineapple, melon, pear and stone fruit.Some light oak and white wine notes. Medium light lavender. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice saison. Nice fruity notes that are well complimented by the white wine barrels and lavender. The acidity is present, but soft and mellow.

375ml bottle. Pours a cloudy pale yellow-orange with yeast particles floating around and a small, fizzy, short lived, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Sweet, fruity aroma of orange, lemon, lavender, white wine, brett and oak. Sweet, complex flavour of wheat malt, rye, lavender, lemon, brett, white wine, spice and oak with a dry, tart, slightly acidic finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and lively carbonation. Very nice, has some complexity to it.

Pours a fizzy honey golden with no head. The musty barnyard aroma leaps out at you as soon as the bottle is open. Some sweet citrus, hay, and oak, too. Full bodied with a sharp but restrained carbonation level. Flavor has the musty barnyard notes followed by sweet citrus, lavender, proseco, and floral. Tart throughout. Ends rather dry. Definitely beat my expectations.

12 oz. bottle, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Nose brings out vinous notes, lots of lavender, and brett. Flavour is complex and cohesive, with lots of lavender upfront, followed by big funky brett notes and white wine barrels. Very spicy, bretty, and complex. Could use a bit more carbonation. Very good stuff.

750mL bottle at Uber Tavern. Clear gold color, no head. Melony acetic sour beer but not strong. A doable sour, especially for this acetic brewery. Its doable but not refined.

Bottle. Pours clear golden with almost no head at all. Aroma is quite sour with berries and wine barrels, as well as tart canned cherries. Full body with average carbonation. Flavour is tart with yeast, as well as a rather strange combo of berries, wood and juniper, with a herby finish.

GABF 2012. Jesus Christ, I think I drank a full bottle over the first two nights of GABF. I believe that I had about twenty pours and to be perfectly honest, I was chugging this shit near closing both nights. Maybe it’s just me, but Trinity’s Saison Provisional and this are simply world-class.

Pours a cloudy yellow orange appearance with a white head. Tons of funk, spices, light bretty pineapple, and a ton of lavender. The floral element is just beautiful in the flavor and the nose. Beyond the floral element which is pretty strong, is a soft bretty tartness, citrus, light rye, and moderate spiciness. Finishes a bit spicy, floral, and slightly tart. An absolute delight. Despite the high price, I fully intend on picking up a couple bottles for a special occasion. FUCK YEAH.
