Funkwerks Saisons are brews you either like or you don't. That goes for any Saison. But what Funkwerks does with theirs can be pretty special in terms of bending the boundaries a bit. This latest Saison is brewed with apricots and peppercorns. The smell has a bit of the fruit while the taste has more of the peppercorn. It has the funk on the nose but really mellow in terms of ales brewed with brett or wild yeasts. I even catch a whiff of pineapple and peppermint. The peppermint I think comes from the peppercorns. The taste is slightly spicy, with a hit of lemon, and the peppercorns I mentioned above. It sits in your mouth quite dry with perfect carbonation. It leaves a nice slick on your tongue after a few gulps and leaves quite a bit of stickiness which I would assume is the apricot considering it's a 6% Saison. They recommend aging it for 6 months max which I tend on doing. I'll probably crack what I have in the cellar during the holidays.cheers
