Funky Buddha Undefeated Saison

__Aroma:__ “Amazing aroma! Massive light stone-fruit aromas, slightly sweeter than peach, not as tart as apricot. Lemon and citrus. Big nectarine, sweet and floral, peaches pears.” __Flavor:__ “Tart sourness combined with a sweet fruitiness of nectarine with citrus notes (lemon and tangerine). Good carbonation that helps reveal the subtle under flavors. Very sour. The tartness caught me off guard given the aroma. Finishes by wicking the moisture from your palate, leaving an acidic tingling.” __Overall:__ “Nice big fruity nectarine flavors and acidity, but still very drinkable. Though a bit sour for some tastes, the balance with the fruit and the funk is well-done. This beer is definitely intriguing.”

Aroma: “Strong oak-barrel character with hints of vanilla, lychee, dill, hay, oxidized wine, and spice. The saison character is evident, with a bready malt sweetness and a little honey.” Flavor: “Some nice dryness with a barnyard earthiness. Estery spice notes add to the complexity. White grapes give it a bit of sweet but finish dry in the taste. Strong carbonation, and the finish is relatively dry, somewhat tannic, though balanced and interesting.” Overall: “Great oak character on the nose, some spicy vanilla notes throughout, and a dry tannic finish. This accentuates an interesting background fruitiness. A bit boozy on the finish though.”

**Aroma:** “Big *Brett* funk on the initial aroma with some nice citrus hops aroma that sits in the back. Slight white-grape ester with some funky wet blanket that play well together. Light malt sweetness.” **Flavor:** “Earthy barnyard *Brett* with apple and slight minty spice. A bit of white pepper and peach. Tart throughout, with a dry finish and high carbonation. A sweetness hits up front with orange and lemon that follow with some nice *Brett* funk. A pepper-like spice helps to cut the sweetness. Big juicy apricot and lemon flavor with a fantastic tartness that carries all the way through. Medium hops flavor or grapefruit and lemon with a slight herbal peppery and spiciness of rye.” **Overall:** “Complex blend of fruity, spicy, and funky—nothing dominates. Tart character and high carbonation make for a very crisp and refreshing beer. Complex and all the flavors from the malt, hops, and fermentation characteristics play well together.”
