Paid $14.95 for a bottle at 7-11 Kittery, ME. Aroma is rather interesting, citrus rind, floral hops and weak barrel notes. The body of this brew is yeasty with a chewy texture providing, dusty wheat, straw and light fruit. A slightly sour tone is mixed in with a solid amount of citrus pith bitterness that knocks down the sour oak flavor.
Lower carbonation with a medium body. I like it, it has a lot going on here but surely a tad overpriced.

Barrel aged saison with medium thick, creamy, off-white head and misty peach blonde colour. Estery and interesting aroma of sour cream and yoghurt, passionfruit, orange peel, sherry, vanilla, biscuit, something sweaty (but not unpleasantly so), fried egg, pineapple and a touch of wet wood. Fruity and estery flavour, kiwi, red berries, starfruit, soft carbo, some citrus freshness, smooth mouthfeel, sour cream and yoghurt tartness but only softly so, caramelly touch, deep earthy hop bitterness with a certain citrus peel quality, yeasty and fruity too with subtle but unmistakable ’woodiness’ and a glow of warming alcohol. Good attempt at balancing sweet, sour and bitter as the label claims, with the wood adding some depth. I enjoyed this more and more with every sip.

500 ml bottle shared by Werckmeister at RB Tasting Linz, thanks!
Orange, cloudy body, with a medium, creamy, white head.
Aroma of barnyard, green apples and other sour fruits, oak, some basement, subtle candy.
Tastes of sour citrus, sour apples, some pears, oak, some sweet fruits, barnyard, sweet malts.
Medium to light mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes sour, dry, with oak, some sour fruits.
Very nice. More a sour ale than a Saison, with nice sour fruit and oak notes. Drinks pretty easy and fresh. Really well balanced, characterful beer.

Bottle shared by Marus. Pours dark sort of coppery gold with a transient off-white head. Aroma is earthy and phenolic. With a touch of pedio? A Little sweatsox there. Flavor is earthy wood with fruit and some sour bacillus effect. It’s very laidback and tasty. It is complex.

17.6 ounce bottle into tulip glass, best before 11/2016. Pours lightly hazy deep golden color with a 1-2 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of tart lemon, lime, orange peel, pineapple, peach, green apple, hay, straw, grass, pepper, musty funk, oak, cracker, bread, light honey, light vanilla, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/funky yeast, citrus/earthy hops, and oak barrel notes; with good strength. Taste of tart lemon, lime, orange peel, pineapple, peach, green apple, pepper, hay, straw, grass, musty funk, oak, cracker, bread, light honey, light vanilla, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Fair amount of earthy herbal hop/oaky/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, lime, orange peel, pineapple, peach, green apple, pepper, hay, straw, grass, musty funk, oak, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky yeast, citrus/earthy hops, and oak barrel flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, fairly crisp, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is an excellent Barrel aged Brett IPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky yeast, citrus/earthy hops, and oak barrel flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A very enjoyable offering.
