16 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but was just released. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of lightly tart limes, lemon, orange, citrus peel/zest, peach, pear, pineapple, red/green apple, melon, white wine, peppercorn, clove, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light leathery/musty funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, lime, peppercorn, pale/wheat malt, and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big lightly tart limes, lemon, orange, citrus peel/zest, peach, pear, pineapple, red/green apple, melon, white wine, peppercorn, clove, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light leathery/musty funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate peppery yeast spiciness; herbal, floral, grassy, zesty bitterness; and light Brett/lime tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart limes, lemon, orange, citrus peel/zest, peach, pear, pineapple, red/green apple, melon, white wine, peppercorn, clove, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light leathery/musty funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, lime, peppercorn, pale/wheat malt, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with an awesome malt/bitter/spiciness balance; and no astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitter/spiciness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, fairly sticky, and lightly acidic/tangy balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 5.8%. Overall this is an outstanding Brett saison! All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, lime, peppercorn, pale/wheat malt, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/spicy/drying finish. Awesome classic Brett/Saison yeast complexity; with balanced limes, spice, and pale/wheat malts; with solid earthy hop presence. A highly enjoyable offering, and spot on style example as expected. My favorite saison from them so far.
