What Our Panel Thought

Aroma: “Lemon, Brett character, a touch of almond. Moderately spicy with a hint of mint. It smells like a liquid Newport cigarette. Rose petal and menthol, mmmm!”

Flavor: “Almost a vanilla-like sweetness up front followed by a strong Brett presence. Mint, lemon, and orange. Barnyard funk overpowers a lot of the other subtle flavors. Well-carbonated.”

Overall: “There are some different things going on in this beer, and it is a decent experience. Mouthfeel is spot-on for the style.”

What the Brewers Say

“Saison d’Brett is a batch of our flagship Saison aged in our 800- gallon foeder. The oak from the foeder complements the fruit and spice flavors from the saison yeast as well as the funkiness contributed by the addition of Brettanomyces yeast.”
