We created this blend with our friends at The Tank in Miami. We aged The Tank’s flagship Saison, La Finca in one of our Puncheons with our mixed culture for nearly a year and then blended that beer with one Puncheon of our flagship Saison, Past & Future. La Finca provides a more estery, dry Saison profile with classic Brett notes while our flagship Saison provides acidity and notes of citrus. After blending we dry hopped with whole leaf Cashmere, which adds fresh notes of melon and tangerine giving this complex blend an additional layer of flavor.

750 mL bottle. Somehow had not reviewed this one before. Clear golden. Smells of lemon acidity, light doughy malts, and some basement yeast. Tastes tart up front, but not as tart as other Odd Breeds. A little bit of light doughy malt comes through. Oaky back end. The Tank's saison seems to temper the tartness of Odd Breed's Past & Future, which I appreciate. Pleasant tartness, without it being too sour. Enjoyable.

This one pours a slightly hazy golden yellow color, with a small fluffy head, and a bit of lacing.
This smells like floral hops and floral funk, along with citrus, lemon, tangerine, white wine, and barnyard funk.
This is very bright and citrusy, with a clean acidity on the back end. There's a floral and earthy funk that never dominates. There's a great citrusy hop character here, adding orange, tangerine, lemon, and grapefruit to the already strong farmhouse base.
This is light bodied, clean, just slightly acidic, with a great drinkability.
Odd Breed does one thing very well, and this is yet another example of their prowess at wild ales.

750ml bottle, poured into a stemless wine glass. Enjoyed on 05.04.19, reviewed from Tasting Notes.
The beer pours a bright golden color, honey hues with some haze and cloudiness and a finger of white head that offers no lace nor any retention. The aroma is nice, lots of cultures leaping from the glass, a bit buggy, but there is a nice graininess to this beer right up front with soft oak, lightly aged and candied hop, citrus peel and wildflower but there is a bit of a bandaid character as it warms and the bacteria starts to take over. The flavors are very good, tart and dry with a nice hop character straight away, not bitter but green that offers both a floral and weedy character but also some earthier pine that brings out more dimensions to the funkiness and bacterial forward flavors, pale dough, citrus peel with a nice woody expression and even a pleasant herbal quality towards the finish where mineral water lingers. The mouthfeel is nice and lively, very crisp and coating with a medium body and a tart and dry finish.
Verdict: A very good wild ale from Odd Breed and The Tank. The nose gets a little too bacterial as it warms, but it does offer up some really excellent flavors and stays in a nice level of tartness without veering at all into sour. The balance of flavors is good, very complex with a nice depth of character. I've heard about what's going on at Odd Breed and I'm very excited to keep trying more of their stuff.
