A brilliant and calming sunset; the eternal ebb and flow of waves crashing on the beach; a dog’s smile-all of these the simple complexities of a life lived well. We constructed Lucybelle, a straightforward saison with Brettanomyces, to complement life’s little pleasures. Crisp, dry, and doggone refreshing, we hope Lucybelle reminds you to slow down, relax, and take in the mystery and beauty of being. Sante!

On tap at the brewery. Pours cloudy light gold with a filmy white head. Spicy brett phenol aroma, without delving into plasticky, fresh grains and light banana fruitiness. Flavor is similar with big bretty funknotes fluttering about. A whisper of peach creeps in among the banana esters. Pretty nice brett showcase, and I’m terribly interested in how this evolves. Very dry finish.

b12. Pours a very vibrant translucent, light yellow with a slight "Ecto-cooler" green hue. Aroma is simple, straight-forward and wonderful. Brett a little bit of lemon and a little bit of funk
Taste is very brett forward. As with the nose, hints of lemon come out as well. Nice long finish. Crisp, dry and clean. Perfect for an 82 degree day by the water.

RBESG 2016 in Barcelona, Grand Tasting. Pale golden colour. Lovely farmhouse aroma. Medium sour flavour. Not bad. Might sample again, if I can find it.

Smells like a dirty belgian trippel, but more funky barnyard.
Tastes inherits the funkyness. Citrus+bread, cereal, hay, oats. Really tasty. Really carbonated.
Carbonation holds up well next day like all SARA. The funkyness dissipates the next day.

a divine and as my buddy says, transcendent little beer right here, my first one from these guys in quite some time! on tap at the trappist in oakland, what a treat to encounter! its a brett saison, and its exactly the way i like them, subtle, dry, layered, and rustic. this is soft on the wheat malt but still creamy feeling and full, its got very little acidity to it but a light clean citrus profile in the brett, and a wonderfully mature funk, a brett drie type, but im not sure what their culture is exactly, its belgiany and old school, timeless really, with notes of green melon, preserved lemon, wet hay, and gentle white pepper. overall this beer is incredible, the yeast and the grain together, nuanced and intricate, with the fruit notes coming in the finish, mild white wine and dried apricot too, just awesome. the perfect amount of funk meets with jovial effervescence in the finish, and all of a sudden its gone. world class saison here, one of my favorite beers from sante adairius to date! i could drink this endlessly and be perfectly content.

On tap at Beavertown Extravaganza. Aroma has yeast funk, grass, hay and a light aspirin note. Taste is tart with yeast funk, fermented stone fruits and wood bitterness.
