On tap at Jolly Pumpkin - Detroit, pours a murky dark amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma reveals plenty of wild yeast, tart citrus fruits, and a hint of dry hopping. Flavour is quite bitter, with lots of dry hopping and wild yeast. Bright and balanced. Solid.

Super Brett dryness with a grapefruit bitter finish. Bit of a fruity nose but otherwise, dry + bitter harshness.

On tap at BrewDog Shepherds Bush. Hazy orange gold colour lasting white head. Wow that's an odd sour. Herby maybe. Some perfume. Not overly sour. Something like parma violets. The base beer is fine wheat malt mash but the flavourings are not my thing. Some bitterness on the finish.

750 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 12/13/2017. Bit of a gusher opener. Pours moderately hazy/cloudy golden amber color with a 2 finger dense and rocky white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of lightly tart grapefruit, lemon, lime, orange, citrus peel/rind, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, red/green apple, mango, melon, guava, berries, white wine, oak, peppercorn, pine, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, and white bread dough; with lighter notes of leathery/musty funk, white wine vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, citrus/tropical/earthy hops, grapefruit, oak barrel, and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big lightly tart grapefruit, lemon, lime, orange, citrus peel/rind, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, red/green apple, mango, melon, guava, berries, white wine, oak, peppercorn, pine, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, and white bread dough; with lighter notes of leathery/musty funk, white wine vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy bitterness; peppery yeast/oak tannin spiciness; and light Brett/fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart grapefruit, lemon, lime, orange, citrus peel/rind, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, red/green apple, mango, melon, guava, berries, white wine, oak, peppercorn, pine, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light leather/funk/vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, citrus/tropical/earthy hops, grapefruit, oak barrel, and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and minimal hop/fruit astringency after the finish. Moderate increasing dryness from bitter/spiciness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy, sticky/resinous/rindy/tannic, and lightly acidic/tangy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 6.9%. Overall this is an awesome fruited wild saison. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, citrus/tropical/earthy hops, grapefruit, oak barrel, and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and easy to drink with the moderately bitter/spicy/tannic/drying finish. Amarillo, Cascade, Citra, Hallertaur Blanc, & Centennial hops. Great balance of juicy/dank/earthy hops/fruit with classic JP house funky Saison/Brett complexity; nice oak presence and pale/wheat malt backbone. A really enjoyable offering, and spot on style example as expected.
