Take one part saison yeast and one part Brettanomyces. Mix in light Pilsner malt and finish with heaps of tropical fruit hops. Think Skittles in the attic.

Clear copper body and poured too full so there's no head. Very vague malt and vegetable hop on the nose, but only if you snort it... yes, I like to snort my beer. Flavour is floral hops with plastic notes. Dry finish though the hops are a bit cloying. Okay but disjointed.

Taster at the brewery with Farees and Brian during Zwanze Day. Pours a bit hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is a bit funky with some peppery notes. Similar taste with some sweet and pleasant fruity notes. Quite good.

A hazed golden ipa with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light coriander and curacao, light Brett, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with loads of citrusy floral hops, light Brett, light cork, grapefruit pulp, very nice. Cask Days 2015.

Bottle: Poured a light pale yellow color ale with a nice pure white foamy head with great retention and some very good lacing. Aroma of light dry Brett notes with some white wine notes and dry floral hoppy notes makes for an enticing aroma. Taste is quite complex with nice layers of dry Bretty notes with some white wine notes and light floral hoppy undertones. Body is about average with great carbonation. I absolutely loved the different layers of flavours in this beer.

650 ml bottle. Pours a slightly hazy gold with moderate head. Aromas of fruit candy, light funk/brett, and bready malts. Flavors of sharp resin, green bananas, and marmalade. Bitter finish. Seems like a hoppy Saison.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Cloudy dark blond color with medium sized compact head, good retention. Mild vegetable aroma; the flavor is slightly more vegetable and minty, the mouth feel is smooth, not too dry; rather strong hopping, but it seems to clash with the yeast; eventually, it doesn’t provide the hop quality, nor the Brett one.
Clumsy, not very pleasant.

Slight haze. Blonde. Peachy, with a bit of sticky malts and light bretty that hasn’t really developed yet. I think there’s upside to this beer, as the brett chews up more of the sweetness, and was released a bit too early.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a cloudy pale golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is hugely fruity and quite funky, with resinous hops, brett, oranges and pine. Flavour brings out zesty citrus notes, floral hops and brett. Well-balanced with a slight soapy quality at the end. Not the most complex, but pretty well-constructed and nice to drink. Good stuff.
