A funky, fruity, panoramic fermentation in ultra-high-def multi-colour. We hope you enjoy every aspect of a Saison brewed from this perspective.

473mL can, pours a hazy golden blonde with a medium white head. Nose reveals a wonderfully fragrant rustic farmhouse character, loads of brett that is never harsh, and a hint of spicy floral character. Flavour is clean yet robust, with a wonderful brett character, rustic farmhouse notes, and a bit of spiciness. Assertive carbonation but not overdone. Lively and beautifully constructed. Has Driftwood rediscovered their touch? This is fantastic.

Can. This has a very pale colour. A thin sort of scummy head. The aroma is a lot of pale malt and light brett (C, I believe). On the palate, it's bretty, with a touch of stank foot yeastiness, and a slightly gloppy pale malt. It was quite a while ago now that Boulevard came out with Brett Saison and really transformed how people look at this style. But you know - that beer (along with Dupont) are benchmarks and this is, while pleasant, is nowhere near those benchmarks.
