Saison from this craft brewery in the Jura region in eastern France, refermented with Brett and created especially for the BXL Beerfest of this year, which due to the Covid-19 pandemic could not take place; 75 cl shared with Craftmember. Irregular, snow white, cobweb-lacing, mousy, gradually breaking and opening head on a hazy, deep golden blonde beer with apricot tinge. Aroma indeed very funky-Bretty in a highly phenolic, almost somewhat 'chemical' kind of way, reminiscent of the classic 'horseblanket', stale urine, slight band aid, hint old sweat, watermint leaf, banana, damp tree leaves, moist jute bags, old wrinkled apples, peach, lemon zest, cloves. Estery onset, quite lively and colourful, unripe banana and peach mixed with pear and lemon peel aspects, medium carb, soft enough not to interfere with the flavours; supple body, a lovely bready maltiness with mild sourish accent underneath, dryish finish with a herbal hoppiness but also a lot of Brett-induced phenols, clove-like but a bit band aid- or 'hospital'-like as well; spicy, funky, grassy, quenching ending. Very Brett-forward indeed so delivering what it promises I guess, but feeling a bit as if the wild yeast grew up in a lab rather than in a more natural environment; still convincing enough, though, so if you like wild ales with a lot of Brett effect, this one is for you. Enjoyed it, all things considered.
