The result is maximum funk and barnyard with a lemon/ citrus zing.
Capitola bred, but with Belgian roots, if you will.

750mL with code 06 4 23B on the neck, drunk 3/5/26.
A good mix of various funky acids in the nose, with Brett leading the charge. Get a pinch of acetic, small amount of lactic and a very robust, fruity Brett character with soft lime, cherry, and mild funk. It transitions to a cleaner Sacch. character redolent of saison, adding apple and pepper, on the finish. Rustic grain and lingering lively fruitiness. Quite lively and very aromatic with a great clarity.
Citrusy and earthy with spicy phenols and still that touch of acetic to go along with a light oakiness. Brett not quite as prominent in the flavor, leaving more room for the saison yeast. Very vibrant mouthfeel with tight, natural carbonation and a nicely malty, well-attenuated texture. Maybe a shade more acidic than I'd prefer my saisons to be, even the barrel-aged ones, though it's hardly a huge issue. Pretty interesting mix of cultures and the oak and Sacch. really stand out in the flavor, while the Brett is a knockout in the nose. Seems like this could easily go another ten years to develop a ton of complexity. Still tastes too young, so it certainly needs at least another year or two.

Exceptional. Great balance, mellow acidity, tangerine, lemon, nips of pine, fresh grass, soft funk, citric bite. Mighty drinkable.

Bottle shared at Anti-Carnavalstasting 2026. Clear golden color, average sized white head. Smell and taste are very sour, sharp even, lightly greenish plant like, yet not in any offensive way, however the beer is quite sharp. Hmm. Unbalanced imo.

750 ml bottle poured into a tulip. Initial pour is clear golden yellow with quick fading off-white head, very slightly hazy further into the bottle. Aroma has white wine and grapes, some apple, stone fruit, subtle funk. Taste includes citrus and stone fruits, apple, light funk and oak, some white wine notes. Medium body. A nice barrel aged saison.

Pale amber, sort of a chill haze. Medium head. Earthy, great bitterness, floral, clean malt, med bretty bugs, mild bitterness. Okay this is tarter than Floodland hopped saisons, but it also has more of everything and I like that.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy copper golden with a small white head. Aroma has a wonderful farmhouse character, some nice old hops, and oak. Flavour has a lightly tart, farmhouse funk, plenty of oak, and some aged hops. Lots of funky farmhouse notes, finishing oaky, dry and leathery. Excellent.
Definitely deeply funky as described. A hint of acidity but besides that oh so soft. Citrusy earthy deliciousness.

Bottle, shared with Vin. Pours slightly hazy golden with small white head and decent lacing. Aroma is gueuze-like, basement funk, some citrus, bugs and hops living in harmony. Nice oak notes as well. Flavor is bright and hoppy with a nice wash of lambic funk and not much tartness. Light body, soft prickly mouthfeel. Really really good.
