A 22oz bottle plucked off the clearance rack. A brett belgian that has been pre-aged for me? Don't mind if I do. This bottle is 3+ years old
Begrudgingly watching college football while pouring out this foamy beast. Cloudy orange with tons of head, very carbonated. Theres 100s of flavors in the nose but I pick out farm funk, fruit and alcohol the easiest. Light and easy to drink once past the carbonation, it's mild in flavor with a sweet boozy finish.
I'm all for a milder belgian like this, it serves as a very efficient booze delivery system. The years definitely mellowed this one

From the bottle in a snifter. This saison with brett pours a
very attractive lightly cloudy orange tinged hay color with a
fantastic head of white foam that settles after a long while
to a thick ring and layer with excellent lacing. Nose of
farmhouse yeast funk with lemon zest, grapefruit pith,
subtle breaded aromas, and grassy hops. Flavors ever so
lightly surpass the nose with a brett forward ale awash in
grapefruit pith and light bread and cracker malts with dashes
of lemon zest and heavy laden in yeasty funk and grassy
hops. Decent mouth feel; medium light body, high carbonation,
and a dry band aid heavy finish.
While I am no fan of brett ales this is decent for the style, but still
not my standard cup of ale.
Cheers

pours a cloudy golden straw with an annoyingly volcano-esque head that turns into pancake foam & hangs out after a few minutes. nose; wet hay & band-aidy brett. taste; dank hay, band-aid, pear, lemon rind, coriander, white pepper, & grassy hops. super carbonated & medium mouthfeel that's modified by the erupting co2 when it sits in your mouth. evil twin doesn't do subtle takes on a style, so the barnyard experience here is concentrated. pungent & punchy.

22 oz. bottle, no date. Bottle is a total gusher, but beer smells OK, so gave it a whirl. Nice floral saison notes with yeast. Beer maintained cap and ring even after an hour of resting in glass. Color is a hazy orange-bronze. Taste is citrus and floral with some mellowing from the honey, almost a bierre de miel. Yeastiness present, but not very sour. Medium-leaning body, very little carbonation, ironically. Seems like a fine saison/bierre de miel and wouldn't mind trying it fresh if ever made again.

Beer was served in a snifter at the Union Brewhouse in Weymouth.
Appearance: A two finger head was poured that reduced to a thin layer. It is a hazy pale yellow orange color with little vision of anything. Spotty lacing down the glass as the beer was drank.
Smell: Barnyard flavor, funk, apple, vanilla, spicy, yeasty, and sweetness most likely from the honey.
Taste: This beer is on the verge of a funky blend between a tripel and a saison. Very cool, slightly tart, smooth, a little chewy, and interestingly delicious.
Mouthfeel: Slightly smooth, tart, sour, funk, a little chewy, yeasty, and medium carbonation.
Overall: For a slightly funky farmhouse ale with honry, this was actually quite enjoyable. Looking forward to the next glass.

Bottle gushed as crazy. Hazy orange color with white head. Aroma has intense farmhouse notes, grassy, citrusy and funky. Taste is funky but not sour, really rustic and earthy notes. Balanced at first, just slightly bitter and dry on the finish. Really well made farmhouse ale.

Excellent take on the style. The aroma is mostly caramel malt with some fruit and a hint of barn. Flavor is bittersour, with a little sweet and citrus in the back. Body is softish. Easy drinking. Damn fine product.
