At the aource: pours golden with a white head. Aroma is musky, dirty and funky. Taste is surprisingly light. Kind of dirty in an interesting and funky way. Tart and berry finish. Weird and nice.

Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a cloudy golden color with an enormous fluffy yellow-white head that lingered forever and left good lacing. The aroma was sourish, musty, funky and had an egg white note. The flavor was tart with vinegar, funk, must and egg white. Long finish. Medium body. Meh.

Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a dark brown color with a plum highlights and a medium sized foamy beige head that left decent lacing. The aroma was vinegar, red wine and a touch of wood. The flavor was vinegar, red wine, fairly strong oak, funk and a bit of soy sauce. Medium length finish. Medium body and a bit flat. Solid.

On tap at Tin Bucket, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out some brett, with other wild yeast and light stone fruitiness. Flavour is quite wild and bretty, with wild yeast, dry biscuity notes and brett. Dry and wild, with a fairly dry finish.

Bottle from Sabatini’s. It pours a clear pale golden color with a fizzy, disappearing head. The aroma has some light toasted bread, hay, some barnyard brett funk and hints of citrus. The flavor follows suit with lots of barnyard, lightly smoky brett wtih pale maltiness, hay, a little lemony tartness and spice in the finish. The smoky phenols were a little much, and the body was on the watery side, but otherwise this was a very interesting beer.

Bottle from Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours copper with a creamy beige head. Aroma of wood, earth, berry. Near med body. Flavor is very earthy/barnyard with a distinct sour note. Still there’s wood and berry which seems to be red. A bit musty. It’s making me think of BFM, but BFM light. Very interesting and tasty stuff.

500 ml bottle into tulip glass; no bottle dating, but is a recent release to the state. Pours slightly hazy golden yellow/amber color wiht a 1-2 finger dense white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Dense soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a large amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of lightly tart lemon, lime, apricot, peach, strawberry, pear, apple, white grape, pepper, hay, straw, grass, light leather/funk, wheat, cracker, biscuit, light honey, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/earthy yeast and bready malt notes; with good strength. Taste of lightly tart lemon, lime, apricot, peach, strawberry, pear, apple, white grape, pepper, hay, straw, grass, light leather/funk, wheat, cracker, biscuit, light honey, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Light-moderate yeast spiciness/tartness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, lime, apricot, peach, strawberry, pear, apple, white grape, pepper, wheat, cracker, biscuit, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/earthy yeast and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/tart/spiciness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from carbonation and tart/spiciness as well. High carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, creamy/bready, and lightly acidic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.2%. Overall this is a great wild saison style! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/earthy yeast and bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

bloody pink color. no head except a tiny bit of white. Smells like a bowl full of fresh mashed berries. Raspberry and Cherry mostly. oh man, yeah ,that’s raspberry alright. Super tart, acidity up to 11 (from the fruit) and this interesting chalky flavor along with straight lemon juice. This is way too sour for me.
