Prairie Gold is a dry, highly effervescent saison fermented with a mix of ale yeast, wine yeast, lactobacillus and 2 strains of brettanomyces. This beer highlights the various yeasts and bacteria used to make it. Lemon, pear, white wine grapes, and a touch of funk dominate the flavor and aroma in this champagne like beer.

Cloudy golden and copper coloured body with a soda-like head that fades just as fast as you can pour it. Aroma of yeast, grass, pale grass, wheat, sour grapes and way more yeast - strong. Medium-bodied; Assertive sour flavour with brett very noticeable, coupled with some lemons, grass, herbs, wheat and a dry finish, like a saison showing some white pepper too. Aftertaste shows the brett flavours coupled with a dry yeast note that feels like a belgian pale ale with a little extra sweetness at the end. Overall, a good beer, but way overrated just from the print on the label. A solid brett-based saison with a touch of sour notes and some complexity, but not worth the price nor trying to find this out of the ordinary. I sampled this 50 cL bottle purchased from New Beer Distributors in New York, New York on 19-June-2015 for US$12,00 sampled at home in Washington on 04-October-2015.

Beavertown Spectrum Fest. Keg. Lightly hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, mild fine carbonation. Medium tart lemon, sweetish florlaness and a touch of something sweet - nutty. Not bad. Light finish.

Bottle: Poured hazy with white yellow with bubble head. Sour funky barnyard aroma. Very mellow grain a little disappointed compared to the nose.

50 cl bottle @ hotel room, Los Angeles. Aroma is tart with lemon and grapefruit. Also some earthy tones. Flavour has grapefruit, earthy tones, some lemon and white wine. A bit too fizzy palate. This one has some Cantillon gueuze in it. Interesting stuff, perhaps a bit too acidic for me.

Pours orange with a foamy head. Aroma of funky yeast, bretta, fruits, citrus, vinous fruits and tartness. Taste is tart, funky and vinous with some bretta, grape, yeast, citrus and ripe fruits. Finish is tart, funky and yeasty with some hints of sourness, grape, bretta and vinous notes. Interesting. Almost like a white wine. --- Beer merged from original tick of Prairie Gold on 28 Aug 2015 at 06:35 - Score: 8

500 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 5/15/2015. Moderate gusher upon opening. Pours hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense white head with solid retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lightly tart lemon, lime, apricot, pear, green apple, white grape, wheat, cracker, hay, straw, grass, light musty funk, light leather, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/funky/spicy yeast and pale malt notes; with good strength. Taste of lightly tart lemon, lime, apricot, pear, green apple, white grape, wheat, cracker, hay, straw, grass, pepper, light musty funk, light leather, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Moderate earthy yeast spiciness and slight tartness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, lime, apricot, pear, green apple, white grape, wheat, cracker, hay, straw, grass, pepper, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity and robustness of fruity/funky/spicy yeast and pale malt flavors; with a great malt/yeast balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium-high carbonation and medium bodied; with a very smooth, crisp, and slightly creamy/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is an excellent golden wild ale. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/spicy yeast and pale malt flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.
