500ml bottle. Hazy golden pour,mwith orange hues and a big off white head. Loads of rocky, pillowy lacing. A beautiful aroma of tropical fruit, lemon zest, especially mango, and apricot, with some light yeast, rounded out by some subtle farmhouse funkiness. Perfect body, and carb. Finish is very fruity, loads of dried grasses and horse blanket. Very complex beer, but i think even a novice would enjoy it. Incredibly well done, a joy to drink.

Shared 500ml bottle. Pours a hazy orange-gold hue, with a large creamy white head. Aroma of sour fruit and brett. Taste is mildly tart, brett, funk. Dry finish.

500 mL bottle poured. Much thanks to mcberko for the bottle. Great to have an opportunity to try a fun beer that I don’t think I would ever run into anywhere else. Hazy orange pour with a mountain of foam head. Brett dominant aroma with a soft rye. Flavor is rye grains, with a straw addition. Brett obvious, with a dry quality throughout. Struggles to have a tart flavor, thought the aroma suggests it will be. Fun, unique clash of styles here. I’d call it a saison. Good stuff.

Cloudy golden color. Sour funky fruity nose with a bit of rye and cracker. Very carbonated funky Brett mouth slightly sour with hops a bit restrained. Brett is perhaps a bit too strong, but still a good beer.

Bottle - Tropical fruit, mandarin and some aspirin notes. Cloudy gold with a nice white head. Bitter and fruity with some orange and a dry bitterness again. Dry finish and not my favorite in the series.

Bottle at Farmhouse Festival Vancouver, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out soapy hops and a touch of rustic notes. Flavour is well-balanced, with rustic farmhouse more and light hops. Decent but uncomplex.

It pours a wonderful cloudy gold with a big foamy white head. Great hoppy funky nose kind of sugary but good. Light and hyper dry bodied. The taste is a sweet herbal hit, flavorful and tasty. A great mix between a saison and a hoppy beer.

Accents typiques de levures sauvages en olfactif : poussière, vieille ferme, crin de cheval. Un profil olfactif clair et défini. Vieux sous-sol humide et touche d’amoniac. Sans demi-mesure. Le visuel est jaune orangé, très brouillé, avec une mousse blanche mi crémeuse, qui diminue lentement et s’attarde sans fin. La douceur des levures est impressionnante en attaque. Aucune marque d’agressivité. Un profil légèrement fruité aux notes d’orange et de poire en sourdine aux levures acidulées aux accents de poussière prononcés. Les houblons sont cependant très effacés et les aspects saison complètement enterrés par les levures sauvages. On est ici loin d’une saison traditionnelle. Une farmhouse très sauvage aux houblons presque absents. Mais tout de même tout en douceur.
