Poured from the bottle into a glass.
Murky orange rust.
Off-white head; almost no lace.
Apricot nose.
Medium mouthfeel.
Apricot jam & wood flavor; simple but very effective.

This is without a doubt the worst beer I have ever tried. 750ml waxed bomber, #511 of 801. Pours copper color, no head at all, immediately the entire room reeks of blue cheese, rotting trash, and backed up septic system. We all took one sip and 4 out of 5 of us spit it out. I don't believe this was an infected beer as they usually gush with carbonation and have a very distinct smell/taste. This was literally just a rotten bottle of garbage. If you have any of these bottles in your possession and have the ability of taking them back to the FFF, I suggest doing that. This beer must have been completely different fresh, because there is no way that it should get the score it currently has.

I have to wonder if there is just incredible variability in the bottles or if I'm tasting anything remotely like folks rating this a 4.
Hazy orange, low carb, looks a little viscous. Smell is "wow" levels of bad; goat cheese left in plastic wrap until it gets sodden and sour, sweaty clothes left in a heap to ferment. The taste is surprisingly mellower - I was expecting a hit of acidity that thankfully isn't there - but follows the old goat cheese and socks pattern of the aroma. There is some wine quality underneath and a decent viscosity to the feel, but this is far, far, far from a saison.
If post-apocalyptic nuclear mutant troglodytes attempted to make a brett saison, I think this is what they'd create.

When this came out in late December of last year my friends and I each grabbed a bottle. The one we cracked the following week was pretty disappointing. It lacked almost any funk at all and it wasn't a great base to begin with. Fast forward 6 or so months and the second bottle was almost completely different. A nicely made saison that I would buy regularly at half the price point (10$). Here's to hoping the 3rd bottle is even better the last. Cheers!
