On draught at NEBF, 10/29/05. A lovely rusty copper-yellow beer, fully hazy with a nice foamy white head, decent retention and fair lacing. Aroma gives off some funky barnyard notes, though nothing too extreme, just light brett-like notes as others have noted, with a dry white pepper and lemon-acidity. Smell does note overwhelm with the usual American over-spiced spiciness. A nice smooth yeast is more up front, soft and floral hops notes with light honey and vanilla. Flavor is very yeasty, though not meaty like in some American saisons. Again the yeast comes through clean and elegant, with light brett, pils malt and pepper. Mild hoppiness rounds out the finish with a slight citric bite. The brett is quite pronounced and it almost seems borderline sour, like there is lacto in there, though I dont think there is. Dusty, dry mouthfeel with low carbonation. Awesome, finally a decent saison in New England!!
