look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Saison bottled with Brett B. or what was Brett Bruxelles 5 years ago but now is considered their house strain.

appearance - nice orange, beautiful, amazing, exactly as it should be.

smell - a little bit of funk, maybe some coriander, or some other spice.

taste - the taste comes together with some mandarine oranges, a bit of brett, and hits you on the back of the throat with some bitterness. There is definitely a nice malty, bready background going on. Maybe a little too much bitterness on the end. A tad bit of tartness on the end that works really well and makes the mouth water.

mouthfeel - dry, highly carbonated, very nice.

overall - This is a great Saison. The brett is very melow, and the bitterness is a little high. Over all, a finely crafted ale. I'd definitely buy this again!

Slightly hazy, golden colored brew. Champaign-like effervescence is notable in the the appearance. A floral funk and tartness is notable...some earthy barnyard and appleskin scents stand out. The taste is on the sweet side, with the tartness and funk alongside. Sugar in the mid taste. Full in body and a solid bitterness in the finish.

Smells sour fruity and initial pour has massive white head that lingers for a while. A bit dissappinted with first sip that tasted watery but got better with the second sip and tasted some good slightly bitter fruits and a lingering taste in a good way. It's good, not great but I'd drink it again
