Bought from The Beer Temple. Brett is creeping slowly into this simple style as well. But why not if it is brewed well.
And Amorous is. Balanced and nicely tart. The rhubarb actually seems to moderate the tart from the Brett. Amorous was planned by me tonight to accompany dinner. While it was refreshing and I drank most of it while preparing dinner, it also was a bit too tart for tonight's pizza. So a saison handled that.

I've wavered on liking Oxbow. I liked it less a few years ago and shied away from their too tart lineup. Then I found several of Oxbow's Belgian-inspired styles that were more traditional. And now Amorous swings back into non-traditional tart. We will see.
