On tap at Old Abbey, pours a clear golden bronze with a small white head. Aroma brings out pumpkin spice, nutmeg and cinnamon especially. Flavour is similar, with quite a spicy dry palate - nutmeg, cinnamon and clove. Standard pumpkin - clean and drinkable, but nothing overly interesting.

On tap at Old Abbey, pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma is subtle, with dry grainy notes. Flavour is similar, with cereal notes, and dry bready qualities on the finish. Dry and clean, but pretty boring even for the style.

On tap at Old Abbey, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out English bready malt. Flavour is similar, bringing out the dry bready malt and some weird herbal notes. Not really authentic, and there are some strange off-notes. Meh.

Test batch which was flat and lifeless. Nose showed promise, this will be good when properly bottle conditioned

Cask at Big Rock Urban Brewery, Vancouver; 12oz
Cloudy orange-blond color with compact head. A lot of character in the aroma: funky, fruity, and some manure. Soft mouthfeel, lowly carbonated but not yet warm, the malt flavor is crackery, moderate residual sweetness, and it has plenty of bitter orange peel character, enhanced by the Brett. I’m not fully convinced by the extreme bitterness in the final though.
Excellent drink, but rough.

Draught at Vancouver Craft Beer Week 2015
Cloudy golden color, frothy head. It has a very nice spice profile, good body structure, fairly dry, and it’s correctly bitter.
Excellent.

Draft - Grassy, pepper with some citrus. Clear gold with a decent white head. Tastes just as it smells, I enjoyed it.

On tap at VCBW Fest, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings skunky herbal notes and Belgian yeast. Flavour is bright, with Belgian yeast and medium astringent hops. Well-balanced and quite hoppy for a saison. Not authentic but quite nice for what it is.

Cask @ Big Rock Urban. Looks like yeast soup and smells almost exclusively of brett. Pretty yeasty, lots of bretty character.
