What the brewers say

Brett saison.”

What our panel thought

“Earthy, spicy hops on the nose with some barnyard funk underneath. Flavor is a muted medley of pepper, citrus notes. Very light mouthfeel doesn’t match what comes next—firm bitterness, light funk, a popping spiciness.”

What our editors thought

“Touch of woody, almost smoky funk on the nose. Subtle with a hint of Noble-ish hops. Sip has a round body that feels less precise.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Our Mutual Friend Brewing Biere Ovale

Tangy aroma of straw, white-wine cellar, light barnyard, tart pears, lemon peel. Soft, rounded flavor—tart, tangy, dry—with low barnyard and vinous peachy notes. High carbonation. Moderate, resinous bitterness clashes a bit with the bright profile. Lingering sour tinge. Really nice.

Roadmap Brewing Co Late Night Polka Party

Bready, nutty aroma pairs with light, spicy hops, citrus, fig. Dark chocolate-malt aura hovers at the fringes. Flavor offers toasted malt, caramel, dark fruit—cherry, plum, fig—and a bittersweet-chocolate layer. Hint of acidity. Finishes fairly dry; malt lingers. Light but pleasant.

Kros Strain Brewing Company Ratio 79

“Clean lactic acidity is a nice counterpoint to the apricot and lemon yeast notes. Mid-palate is an awesome blend of earthy funk and stone fruit. Light hay shows up in the finish. Refreshing like lemonade with funky beer undertones.”
