"Special Brettanomyces yeast provides added dryness and crisp complexity to the Seizoen Bretta. Bottle conditioned with pear juice for a natural carbonation."

750 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 8.0%. Moderately gushing bottle, better have the glass ready! Golden colour, clear first, cloudy later. Large white head. Intense, complex and lovely farmhouse and rustic kitchen aroma, hints of mild spices and oaked apple cider. The flavour is medium dry and crisp, again with mild spicy and moderate oaky notes. Some fruitiness too. Moderate but noticeable hops. Refreshing and delightful.

Pours amber gold orange with a dense creamy frothy white foam head. Smells like barnyardy farmhouse funk, hints of leather, horse blanket, toasty hay, straw, caramelized bready crackery malts, some vanilla, green apple, pear juice, mild lemony citrus, apricot, banana, peppery clove spice, wildflowers, with earthy floral hops. Tastes really nicely balanced displaying a large fruity ester profile, lots of apricot, lemony orange citrus, banana, apple, pear juice, with some barnyardy farmhouse funk, hints of leather, horse blanket, toasty hay, straw, caramelized bready crackery malts, vanilla, mild peppery clove spice, wildflowers, and earthy herbal floral hops. Feels medium bodied, creamy with smooth moderate carbonation. Overall a real nice saison with brettanomyces.

Rating #5209, bottle from Douglas88. Active bottle, a little but of foaming, caught most in a tulip. Light Holden and hazy, huge head, subsides to one finger. Brett dominates the aroma, light, lemony, bread. Taste is also light, citrus, effervescent, grassy, floral. Nice flavors throughout. Mild tartness, but doesn’t interfere with the pure Saison notes. Thanks, Doug!

Cloudy orange amber color with a slightly thin body. Carbonation is strong at first and dissipated quickly
Aroma ishay,funk, yeast, pears,pear skin,earthy and band aids
Taste was really similar to aroma,just a touch of sweetness with some peppery spice to balance it.
It's the band aid aroma and taste that put me off a bit. Have had that in other beers before but this was more pronounced. The reviews are great so I have to assume my taste buds are off or something wrong with the bottle I got

Best by January 2019
A: Poured into a Duvel tulip to a light golden orange topped by a dense and slightly rocky two finger white head which fades slowly while leaving some nice lacing
S: Smells of some spicy yeast notes, orchard fruits and funk.
T: Taste is sweet orchard fruits up front with a hint of tartness, nice peppery spice along with some horse blanket and barnyard. Slight band aid as well. On the finish this one is more orchard fruits with a little pineapple along with some more peppery spice and lingering barnyard funk
M: This beer has a medium feel on the palate while also being slightly creamy. Carbonation is effervescent and adequate for the style while the beer has a drying finish
O: Overall this beer is awesome. It has some really nice flavors and complexity and although it's allegedly past the best before date I think it tastes amazing. There are no off flavors and nothing seems to have fallen off. The balance on the beer is also really nice and all the flavors play very well together. This is definitely one to try.

Pours a slightly cloudy gold color. A massive white foam head rises to the top like a nuclear mushroom cloud. Unbelievable retention as I wait to drink, as when it recedes, a thick creamy film persists throughout.
The nose first hints at brett, with its rustic, funky and light barnyard aromas. Soon, however, tart fruity aromas begin to develop. They evoke peaches, kiwi, pear, lemon and lime. I also detect hints of pilsner malt aromas and floral hops.
As expected, the taste is fruity and tart, with notes of rustic funk and peppery spice. The fruity flavors evoke peach, lime, kiwi, apricot and pear juice. The brett adds a very accessible tartness, dryness, peppery spices and earthy/barnyard flavors that evoke grass and hay. Overall, the taste represents a complex medley of sweet, tart, dry and spicy.
Medium bodied and a bit on the full side fir the style. The carbonation is lively. The finish is quite dry and with a spicy and earthy burn. Interestingly enough, the mouthfeel starts out rather creamy, yet, develops some crispness.
Overall, this is a wonderful “funky” Saison. One of the best I’ve had!
