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.

Very good dense white head over fully hazy yellow-golden beer. Very herbal nose, garden herbs, chamomille in particular, other grains, yeast. Bitterish to bitter and really dry; again herbs, chamomille, yeast features. Dried herbs - herbal but not pharmaceutical. Finish and aftertaste are a nice interplay between hops and Bretts - a balance pretty difficult to achieve! Light body but with a creamy feel from the stable head. Medium to good carbonation. Normally this - often occuring - chamomille flavour sits wrong with me. Only this time, it turns out to be really classy!

Bottle @ Belgium. Pours hazy deep Golden with a White head. Brett and farmhouse. Earthy and chalky with a peppery and slight tropical bretty note. Funky. Super smooth and dry with the barnyard lingering. Dope
