500mL bottle, sent from yourilevesque (thanks a lot, Youri), pours a cloudy golden with a medium white head. Nose brings out brett, Belgian saison yeast, and citrus zest. Flavour is quite funky, with lovely brett funk, saison farmhouse yeast, and some citrus. Not quite as complex as Batch 2 -- this one is more traditionally saison-esque. Easier to drink than Batch 2, but not as complex; this is still excellent.

500mL bottle, sent from yourilevesque (thanks a lot, Youri), pours a hazy golden with a medium white head. Aroma is huge on the brett, with lots of funk, some citrus and a little dry hopping. Flavour is very complex, with loads of dry barnyard funk, citrus and dry hopping. Wonderfully funky - the brett is perfectly situated. Complex and highly drinkable. Awesome beer.

Sampled from bottle @ Hey Julien is back and Dean’s floor is moist tasting. A bit hazy dark orange to reddish color, medium sized off-white to beige head that lasts for quite a while. Smell and taste malts, quite bitter, hops, some sweet touch and some alcohol. Medium to full body, medium carbonation. Nice.

À première vue, ce qu’il y a dans mon verre se situe à mi-chemin entre une Heineken et un cidre... Visuellement, c’est très décevant ;-( Toutefois, le goût est fort agréable, musclé et plutôt résineux pour une Saison. C’est très désaltérant, facile à boire et je perçois un peu de poivre et des fruits tropicaux. L’étiquette est disons originale aussi ;-)
