Nose of complex yeast varieties. Pours a bright, hazy gold with a decent head. Fruity, with a strong bubblegum flavor and plenty of yeast character. Silky mouthfeel and a somewhat tart finish. Nice stuff. daknole (2879), Plantation, Florida, USA Nov 3, 2009 Cloudy yellowish pour. Aroma is woody and tart. Pears, caramel, honey and some light funky notes. Flavor is tart and a bit funky. woody, funky and yeast too. MJGG (403), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Nov 1, 2009 Verre de 8 oz, au Lion’s Pride. Arômes très fruités (citron, abricots séchés), les brettanomycètes sont également présents. Robe blonde et légèrement trouble, effervescence active et belle mousse. Il s’agit d’une bière très délicate, avec une belle touche de levure fruitée et légèrement funky, un malt léger et une finale très sèche. La texture en bouche est très vaporeuse et l’alcool très bien dissimulé. Bien bon! nimbleprop (843), SouthWest, Washington, Washington DC, USA Oct 12, 2009 Sampled on tap at Max’s in Baltimore. Pours a hazy, translucent straw yellow with a frothy, active white head. A high level of carbonation is evident. Aroma is mostly ripe fruits, pears, apples, a touch of hay and some light brett floating around. Flavor is nice, citrus, lemon rind, orange, hay, grass, slight pepper zing, mild brett, some spice. Finish is dry. I was expecting a lot more. If you’re going to use brett than make it bretty. I suppose it could age well, but I feel like this might be lacking a bit in terms of flavor. scraff (1926), Baltimore, Maryland, USA Oct 12, 2009 Draft – Max’s. Cloudy gold, creamy white head. Apple cinnamon and grassy apricot- pear aromas ride light undercurrents of bretty funk and yeast. Soft crisp fruity barnyard flavors balance on a touch of peppered honey, straw, and cheese. Quite complex as it nears room temp. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, fruity finish. Certainly worthy of your attention…. BeerandBlues2 (3202), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Oct 10, 2009 GABF 2009. Pours clear light yellow with an average, frothy white head, somewhat lasting with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (hay, straw, meal), light hop (flowers, herbs), average yeast (horse blanket, barnyard, earth) with notes of banana, clove, and wine. Medium bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and a chalky finish. Long duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness. Some brettanomyces aroma. GardenGabe (125), Denver, Colorado, USA Oct 8, 2009 Pour is pale straw with a think head. Nose is complex containing, lemon, orange peel, spice, cloves, ginger and of course hint of the brett. Sourness is complemented by a slight sweetness. Feel is medium body and a tingle moderate to low carbonation. Finish is of honey. I like this beer. I really like this beer.
