Saison-Brett, based on our very popular Tank 7, is assertively dry hopped, then bottle conditioned with various yeasts, including Brettanomyces, a wild strain that imparts a distinctive earthy quality. Though this farmhouse ale was given three months of bottle age prior to release, further cellaring will continue to enhance the “Brett” character, if that's what you're after.

Pours a golden/amber color with a large head. Aroma is malt, yeast, and slight alcohol. Taste is similar to the aroma with more alcohol in the taste. Not sure of ABV after years of aging, but very tasty. BB1-8-2019

World class indeed! This is a beautiful beer. The head retention exceeds most belgians and essentially all other domestically produced brett beers except perhaps some Oregon and Colorado brett beers.
Giant chunks of ivory foam left in curtains on the glass. Complex, delicate, poised, delicious aromas and flavors.
Bravo Boulevard. Your stouts are disgusting. This is pure art and craft.

Released August 2024; drank 9/20/24 @ the Yarchives.
Cloudy orange appearance.
A slow pour yielded a big white head; frothy tree-rung lacing remained.
Lemon, wood & faint lavender notes in the nose.
Medium thin mouthfeel.
Lemon & wood flavors up front; mild lavender notes on the finish.
Balanced, well made & enjoyable. I'd have another!

750 ml bottle, vintage 2013, probably from Vinmonopolet. ABV is 8.5%. Pale golden colour, only slightly hazy. Huge and lasting white head. Lovely aroma of saison yeast and brett, with fruity and peppery notes, hints of farmhouse. Medium sweet but still quite crisp flavour with peppery notes, distinct bittering hops.

An acidic, but fruitful saison. Has a very relaxed aftertaste that is warm and fresh. The energy aroma is better than it’s taste, but still an excellent beer.

Appearance: Pours a hazy yellow-orange, thick, fluffy head, great retention. Inviting indeed, would love it if the head was not just plain white. Lacing is quite good, nothing crazy though.
Smell: Hop backbone, citrusy, namely orange and grapefruit. Notes of brett and pepper.
Taste: Balanced. The citrusy hops mingle well with the brett notes. Hop bitterness is low. Brett, peppery and citrusy hops are at the top. The finish has a nice malty tinge and tastes of alcohol. As it gets warmer, the pepper notes really come through, like Tank 7.
Mouthfeel: Effervescent burn, light bodied, soft, crisp, refreshing, smooth enough, dry. It touches the lips and tongue with a gentle caress.
Overall: First off...it's not Tank 7...and that's to be expected! It's a lovely beast of its own and it's well invited. I have another already to drink down the road, in a few years...but I may get another for my birthday next year. So good!
