[ Used to love this - now find it a little husky and over carbonated - also a bit sweet - still decent] [original rating 3.8 - had this beer again recently, and the brett has really come through, dried this out, and added a lot of earthy complexity] Thanks to beastiefan2k for sharing - hazy copper beer with a soapy head - there is a young brett character in the aroma, but you’ve got to take a deep whiff to detect it - the aroma is more a mixture of tangerine, grain/wheat, and lavender - fairly bitter herbal flavors and what seems like pils malt - fairly tart, with very faint brett - strong herbal bitterness throughout - a little bit of phenolic character - a decent saison - I’d love to try it with a year or so on it.

750 ml bottle purchased mail order from Joey at South Bay in Imperial Beach, CA. Pour is cloudy orange amber with a giant off white head (4 inches at least). Head has huge carbonation bubbles showing, leaving behind nice lacing. Aroma is phenolic graininess, some floral notes, and rye. Taste is spicy, wheaty, slightly funky and sour. Reminded me quite a bit of Saison Dupont. Really interesting taste profile. Super nice.

Muddy beige. Minty, camphor kind of phenols on the nose. Really big yeast character. Spicy, with hints of pepper.

750ml Bottle brought from Honnigshead by Odeed; Thanks Jake! Nose of yeast, corriander, and bretty funkiness; murky rusty gold with a huge, heavy-lacing, long-lasting, offwhite head; flavor is very peppery corriander spiciness, rye breadiness, bretty funkiness and more spice; finish is lightly bitter. Awesome new bruery (brewery)! Got to go to the brewery when I am down there in a couple of weeks!
