Boulevard Brewing Co. Saison - Brett Ale
No 5 in the Boulevard Smokestack Experience. No 6810 of a total of 13,400 bottles produced. 8.5% alc/vol. Batch no 2009-2. Brewed in Kansas City, MO bought at Spec's liquor store, Houston, drank at home in Katy, TX while waiting for dinner to cook.
The bottle says "Our gold medal-winning Saison was the starting point for this limited edition ale. It was then dry hopped, followed by bottle conditioning with various yeasts, including 'Brettanomyces' a wild strain that imparts a distinctive eRyh quality. Though this farhoyse ale was given three months of bottle age prior to release, further cellaring will continue to enhance the 'Brett' character, if that's what you're after.
Our special limited release ales are produced in batches so small that we individually number each bottle. When they're gone they're gone."

An interesting taste, with floral overtones on the rear side of the tongue in the aftertaste. A slight bitterness adds nothing to the taste. The extreme fizziness of the beer when first poured from the bottle detracted a lot from the enjoment.
