it is our Saison van de Bruwer getting a makeover and becoming BRETT SAISON! Same recipe, still organic, and with the same personality marked by our Brettanomyces yeast.
As a reminder, it is a Spelt Saison, dry-hopped and fermented with added Brettanomyces. Blond, opalescent, aromatic and fruity, with a 'funky' touch typical of Brettanomyces, notes of cereals (especially spelt), a floral touch, and a final that evokes lime zests. Its attack is mellow, but its finish is dry and bitter.

33 cl. bottle @ Kafé België, Utrecht.
Hazy milky yellow with a white head. Nice Brett aroma with some citrus and a wheat (spelt) note. Sweet taste with a bone dry funky finish. 4 year old bottle so the Brett was really present. Nice one.

Pour at Snallygaster 2025. Poured a bright orange color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was funky yeast, some bitterness. Big and fragrant hops, with yeast, and a big funky character.

0.33 l bottle from 'Etre Gourmet' as 'Saison van de Bruwer' at 5.3% abv, bottled in November 2021 (!). Hazy, golden with a medium large, slightly fluffy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, rather fruity-floral, fairly funky aroma of lemon peel, manure, gooseberry and hay. Slightly sweetish, moderately bitter, quite dry, gently fruity-floral and rather funky taste of lots of manure, lemon peel, gooseberry, hay and grains, followed by a short, moderately bitter, fairly dry finish. Thin to medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Too much brett funk, unfortunately in an unpleasant way, yet an interesting brew.

Bottled 13JUL22, drunk 6/8/25.
Clear and bright gold-brass. Sizeable, well-retained, white head.
This is like perfectly developed and in the sweet spot. Luscious Orval-like yeast, though less bandaid than some of the best Orval noses I've smelled. No over-developed notes yet, and a biscuity and rustic, lightly bready spelt/malt character to gently balance. Soft funk, black pepper, honey and floral notes linger.
Bright and clean with dainty Brett done perfectly. Peppery and gently acidic with nothing overdeveloped and an excellent, deeply malty texture that shows good attenuation. Balanced and bright with luscious Brett for days.
