Draft. An unclear golden beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma has notes of lemon as well as lighter notes of yeast and vinegar. The flavor is sweet with notes of citrus fruits, flowers, yeast, and spices, leading to a dry spicy finish. Refreshing.

Aged cask sampled on tap at Bottleworks, pours pale golden yellow with big white head. Aroma is insanely sour berries, with yeast and a farmhouse funk. Flavour is pretty much the same, with notes of citrus and a dry finish.

Slightly hazy. Pale straw. Big rocky head. The aroma is full of pepper, light florals, fresh continental hops and coriander. Not pulling that much brett on the nose but it is big on the palate. Woody, peppery body and very tart. Aside from the pucker, this is mostly a heavily spiced (pepper, coriander) but underfermented saison. Structurally simplistic - needs more brett aging to dry it out a bit.

Draught Poured pale yellow/orange with thick withe head. Aroma of spice and malt. Lekker light spicey flavour (actually my notes say LEKKER! LEKKER! LEKKER!" Wild yeasty finish. Seek this one out, you won’t be disappointed.

On tap at Falling Rock Denver, CO Pours out a gold topped with a fluffy white head. Aroma was of spice, brett, and some fruit. Taste was great the brett, a nice spice, some soft fruits along with some light floral notes. This was a very well done Saison.

12 oz tulip pour at Brouwers Cafe in Seattle, Washington. Pour is slight haze orange golden with a pure white one inch head that falls, fully coating the glass with lace. Aroma of floral perfume hops, grainy wheat and some light spice yeastiness. Taste is big hops initially, resin, woody, floral and perfumey. Immediately following is earthy, straw grassy grain and the white pepper yeastiness. The earth and horse blanket notes really come out as it warms. Nice transition between flavors. Palate medium, perfume lingers in the aftertaste - then turns grassy, mineral and dry in the finish. The palate was the highlight on this one for me. Nice one, though the perfume may have been a bit much. Would love to have this again when the Brett is really kicking.

Wow, was I blown away by this. On tap @ RR during RBSG’09. We had just done Bear Republic where everything was so damn average and this blew my mind. Goblet pour and it looks awesome (RR is good at that). It has a very thick head atop a golden and radiant color. It is just so thick and hazy yet beautiful. The head is sticky and very soapy. Aroma is a thick herbal yeastiness, very thick, very green. Some light mineral and lots of lemon and tart berries. Flavor has more of that spring herbal/green yeast and it melds with some tartness. It is so beautifully melded like a double helix where I can’t tell one aspect apart from the other. Flavor has less tartness but more of a natural un-citric lemon. The mouthfeel is sparkling yet fuzzy at the same time. A bit of a bitter finish as the beer warms and a nice equilibrium to the beer. Not sure I have enjoyed a beer on tap so much before. I didn’t even touch any other beer while I was there.
