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….

Dec 10, 2009 750ml bottle with almost a year of age on it. Be careful, as the cork is a real rocket ship. The pour yields a mostly clear, moderate golden-amber colored body with a billowing head of off-white foam. The head shows nice retention, and leaves round, horizontal lines of lacing on the glass. Brett is immediately apparent in the nose, imparting its signature earthy must to an underlying base of light caramel malt and straw. Hints of lemon and dusty wildflowers, lend a perfumy overtone. Flavors follow suit, striking a nice balance between light, grainy sweetness and soft wildflower hops, with hints of citrus rind spicing and a hefty dose of dusty, earthy brett. The palate is medium bodied, sporting lively carbonation that intensifies on the semi-dry finish. Overall, this one nods towards young Orval, and does so quite nicely. Very good brew, though I’d prefer a little more tartness.

Dec 7, 2009 2009 Bottle - Thanks jrob21 - This fucking thing almost blinded me, the cork shoots off straight up before I even get the cage off...so violent and fast that I did not even react before the cork and cage had settled into their place on my floor...wow, glad I can still give an accurate appreance...Pours clear deep yellow with a large off white head...aroma is yeasty and dry fruity, straw, tart vinous malt...flavour is similar, dry and more straw, oak...wild yeast tartness and massive carbonation...after acclimating to the initial flavour, it opens and becomes more malt forward, honey?...very tasty, as for value, I don’t know...

Nov 18, 2009 A wild, yeasty experience. Had some on tap at Blind Tiger. 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.

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!
