Teku showing pale gold with a finger of clean white foam.
The nose shows moderately intense notes of barnyard funk with hints of brett.
The palate is moderately carbonated and medium bodied. Moderate gentle grape-like tartness with light flavors of green grape and a mild grape sweetness. Very quaffable.
Taster showing pale gold with a finger of clean white foam.
The nose shows moderately intense notes of barnyard funk and light stone fruit.
The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. Mildly tart and refreshing with light flavors of lime and unripe peach.
No head, clear golden beer. Faint, demure fruitnose, and faint vegetable oil. Extremely dry, almost astringent fruitacids & lactic acid. Backthroat some nuts and fruitmash - stonefruit. Slick - again as from fruit - acidthinning. Good sour ale (rather than saison, IMO), even if we all liked Blend 1 better.
Super mild with a nice underlying funk
Tap @ CBC 2015. Rating #500! Pours cloudy light yellow with a medium white head. Aromas of citrus, vinous notes, lemon zest, floral notes, brett, sulfur. Taste is citrus, lemon zest, white wine, lavender, tart citrus fruits, yeast, brett.
750 ml bottle into tulip glass; Blend #4, bottled in 4/2016. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tart/sour lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, oak, peppercorn, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, and white bread; with lighter notes of leathery/musty/lacto funk, white wine vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast, wine barrels, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tart/sour lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, oak, peppercorn, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, and white bread; with lighter notes of leathery/musty/lacto funk, white wine vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. Light-moderate lactic tart/sourness, wine tang, and yeast/oak tannin spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/sour lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, oak, peppercorn, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, light musty funk/vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast, wine barrels, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with an awesome malt/tart/sourness and tangy/spicy balance; with minimal puckering sourness after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering tart/sourness, spiciness, wine tang, and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately grainy/acidic/tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4%. Overall this is a fantastic sour/wild session saison! All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast, wine barrels, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/clean/refreshing to drink, with the modestly acidic/tangy/tannic drying finish; not overly lactic. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Amazingly well rounded Brett/Bacteria/Saison yeast complexity; with great wine barrel presence/integration, and a nice solid pale/wheat malt backbone against acidity. Minimal residual sweetness from crisp acidic/tannic dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing spot on style example.

Bottle shared by Wickedestman at Muted Horn, many thanks! Pours pale yellow with a white head. Oaky and funky with some dust and lemon. A very light tartness. Very clean and elegant.
Lovely thirst-quenching light saison. Delicious with the chantarell pie & langoustine.
Blend #4. A very pale color, looks like hazy cider. Light lacing. Aroma is tart light lemon tarts, a little citrus juice and the faintest brett at the end of the aroma. Flavor is very much just lacto tart water. Leaves me wanting more actual beer despite liking the wild beer. Light and spiky mouthfeel.
