First sample - Saison de Deux Médecine w/ Brett

February 17, 2010 - After 143 in the secondary, I pulled my first sample the Saison de Deux Médecine w/ Brett and did a side by side with the a bottle of the regular version. Honestly, I was just excited that it wasn't disgusting!! The surface of the beer in the carboy has a spotty light white, almost puss looking foam on top, but tasted great. Still a way off from bottling though.

1. Saison de Deux Médecine w/ Brett

• Pulled sample, so no carbonation
• Clear light gold w/ fruity brett and zing on the nose
• Yarrow seems covered up a bit
• Dry with mild sweetness and sticky mouthfeel
• Zing with leathery brett and mild fruit
  

2. Saison de Deux Médecine

• Over-carbonated like the other bottles
• Slight haze and dull yellow
• Lemony yarrow with ginger and citrus flavors
• Chalky and smooth
• Lots of ginger in this bottle
