Bottle, 750 at Himmeriget. Shared with Max, Fran, Kova and kajser. Pours hazy orange with white head. Fruity, peach, apricots, lemon, nice funky note, barnyard, some wood. Light to moderate sourness. Very subtle and balanced. Medium bodied, maybe just a bit thin. Nice one, although I've expected just a bit more.
Unknown batch. Delicious!

Bottle, courtesy of illidurit, many many thanks! Aroma is apricot, funk, Brett, bitter almond. Body is medium, fruity acidic and tart, lively carbonation, apricot. Intense sour palate, still super fruity. Very, very good, but could be a little less sour.

Bottle, many thanks anstei! Hazy golden color with white head. Aroma is apricots, fresh yeast, barrel, apricot skin. Taste is apricot jam, fresh barrel funk, grapes, even a touch apricot stone I think. Super refreshing, super tasty! Awesome!

750mL batch 11 bottle, drunk 9/20/17.
Hazy golden-peach with an immediately-fizzling, off-white head.
Sulfur and apricot take front seat in this saison that is highly redolent of Saison Bernice. Tell-tale, house character comes through in the form of salinity and plentiful mineral character builds up, with bright apricot notes dotting the finish. Comes off with more saison/wild ale notes than it does fruit ones, which is very nice, for a change. Everything is well-integrated and there is no surplus of souring acid, nor any flaw noted.
Leathery Brett and fruit acids mix with more mineral and salt notes as Brett crescendos to a very strong, but enjoyable dominance (wouldn't call it unbalanced). Leather, lime, band aid and sulfur with plentiful tart acids are all carried on by a tight, zesty carbonation on top of a malty but well-attenuated texture. Salinity never builds up, thankfully, and lightly tart, lip-smacking acids linger on, preparing for the next sip. Excellent stuff, well-worth the hype, at least in my book.
