Cloudy yellow colour with thin head. Aroma is very funky and strong with straw and manure. Flavour is less intense but brings light hop bitterness.

Postmodern American farmhouse ale by Burial, tasted at their tap takeover at Beerlovers Bar in Antwerp. Creamy, dense, regularly shaped, snow white, papery lacing head over a hazy golden beer with vague olive greenish hue. Aroma of fermenting lime juice, some urine even, gooseberries, dried mango cubes, withering flowers, sweat, sourdough, buttermilk, green banana, courgette, cucumber soup. Crisp onset, lots of gooseberry-ish flavors, some green kiwi and pear but not so much mango - ironically since this is apparently physically used - restrainedly sweetish with sourish edges, medium carbonated. Smooth and bit oily mouthfeel, bready malt middle, soft and cereally, lingering fruit tart accent which I suppose should come from the mango but is more reminiscent of gooseberry and passion fruit; drying finish with a retronasal Bretty accent (touch of damp hay and stale sweat) but subtly so, dank grapefruity hoppiness too, accentuating the end dryness with a deep, tonic water-like, spicy bitterness. Quenching, refreshing and interesting, wonder what this becomes if the Brettanomyces gets more time; very American though, this is much more a kind of ’farmhouse fruit IPA’ (if this makes sense) than traditional saison.

Draft tasting glass @ Beerlovers Bar. Very hazy golden, little white head. Nose is cheesy overly yoghurt heavy with milky thick brett, bitter plaster. Taste is bitter plaster, cheese, weird bitter weeds, grass, plaster, yoghurt,... Body is cheesy, yoghurt, bitter yeast,... Not all bad but heavy yoghurt profile, not the best, odd bitter yeast, mango is lost,... The aclaim that I have seen this brewery get for its saison’s is lost on me here.

Sample at the taproom. Pours orange-amber with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing. Fruit, yeast and malt in the nose. Light to medium body with flavors of herbal yeast, fruit and biscuit malt. The finish is fruity yeast and malt. Decent overall.
