La Sirène Wild Saison

Is the Wild Saison an even finer drop than La Sirène's original? The beer uses a Brettanomyces strain alongside La Sirène's in house saison yeast and the result is a beer of even more complexity and possibly even a greater degree of refreshment.

Brettanomyces, or "Brett" for short, is often credited in its various forms with lending beers certain "off" characteristics and highly "Brett-y" Belgian styles are often described as having barnyard or horse blanket like aromas. Here, there's a touch of horse that is balanced by the malt sweetness, with the additional yeast also bringing some cherry and berry characters to the spiciness of the beer.
