DTW Airport draught, 8/29/26.
Quite oaky, moderately lactic, maybe some salinity and spice but not really getting the fruit, which is fine.
Hmm, this tastes lightly oxidized. I'm guessing the "ordering a clementine spiced oak aged saison at the airport" crowd is about one person per month, so this is probably pretty old and I'm betting I'm getting the beer that has sat in the line for a while. Anyways, aside from the minor refermentation diacetyl and oxidation, it's quite lovely. The clementine comes out in the flavor, but delicately, with no huge acid. Nice oak presence giving wood and light vanilla. Tasteful on all angles. Chewy, wheat-like malt shows ample but not overdone body/texture.

Can. Pour is a very murky orange gold with very little head. Aromas are bold - lots of barnyard funk, a touch of orange, some honey. Amazing nose. Flavor is nice but I think the aroma is the highlight here. The funk mixes nicely with the orange flavors but the beer is a bit thin.

2018 vintage. On tap at Roscoe’s, pours an opaque muddy peachy yellow with a small white head. Aroma definitely reveals some age: there’s tons of old funky brett, plenty of oxidation, and big oaky notes. Flavour is much the same, with tons of brett, old oak, cardboardy oxidative notes, and some earthiness. Not sure why the bar aged this 8 years—it really hasn’t stood the test of time, but it is a cool relic of the past.

On tap at Roscoe's, 2018 vintage. Pours murky dully yellow with a white head. Plenty of pungent Brett and grapefruit on the nose. Flavour is quite dry with lots of Brett, bitter grapefruit peels, stonefruit juice, dead hops, and a very dry finish. Probably interesting when it was first released, but by now it's just an old Brett beer.

Single from that good shop on Houston, you know the one, with the fish tank.
Pint glass at home. "Enjoy within one year", but we're left without a stamp. Definitely not fresh. Zombie Ron is so angry right now.
Big, cascading cola head. Murky cola.
Smells of dark berries, spice, cola, inviting earthiness, floral.
Twangy dark fruit, mulled red wine, flat Dr Pepper, earthy but approachable funk, mellow herbal bitterness, slight Brett floral. More cherry as it warms. The finish wants to be dry but can't get there.
Low co2, juicy, whatever abv with a slight warmth.
Had this years ago & have no recollection other than regarding it as good. As is, it's better than solid, semi-complex sour at a very good price. It's tasty but I'm just not jazzed about it. It doesn't evoke happiness like the glass bottles used to.

Tap at The Warehouse, Chongqing, China. Pours red, medium transparent, with limited, fine whitish foam. Aroma is delicate acetic, ripe fruits, cherries. Body is average, with minimal carbonation and a nice astringency, delicate nonetheless. Taste is medium sour, not aggressive. The beer remains fairly easy to drink. Final is average.

Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: black in the glass with a quarter finger of khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: dark chocolate with roasted malts, light smoke and some dark fruits; sour to acidic character; some woodiness, some coffee; light vinegar-ish tones
Flavor: sour to light tart-like notes with the woody and vinegar tones following in nicely; light sweetness from the dark fruits; finishes with some coffee, dark fruits, dark chocolate and sweet wood
Texture: medium to full bodied, good sipper; light smoothness with sturdy acidic to tart to sour abrasiveness to the tongue, good dryness
Overall: I liked it for me but this isn't a beer for the faint of heart and make sure you have some water after this one, this beer doesn't play nicely with you.
