davidezdonz (1514) - Hong Kong, HONG KONG - OCT 21, 2019
UPDATED: OCT 21, 2019 A corked and caged 750ml bottle, Batch #1, bottled in November 2013. Poured into a 3 Fonteinen stemmed glass. It was a lightly hazy golden orange colour with a thin white head that dissipated fairly quickly and left only some sparse lacing. Aromas of light to moderate funk, lime, lemon peel, floral, tea and oak. Tastes funky, light tartness, lime, stone fruit, citrus, lemon peel, tea and a touch floral. Light to medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Overall, the flavours didn’t really work for me. The lime seemed to overpower everything even the brett, and floral notes are not my favourite so it didn’t help balance it either. Not as complex or tasty as Arctic Saison.

Bottle at Black Christmas 2017
Cloudy golden. The aroma is mildly fruity. It's undercarbonated, with hints of pear and hibiscus, not very complex. But good.

Boutip (8358) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - OCT 8, 2017
Bottle: Poured a hazy yellow color ale with a nice large foamy head. Aroma of tart notes with light funky ester. Taste is a mix of tart notes with funky Brett notes and easily distinguishable lime notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Interesting mix of lime and Brett notes with some complexities.
