Jul 30, 2007 2006 vintage, I can’t remember who I got this particular bottle from. Hazy orange golden with a one finger off-white head, lots of streams of bubbles making their way to the top. First whiff gives way to wonderful brett, followed by some vanilla and oak. Granny smith apples with tart and bitter grapefruit, a moderate amount of caramel and yeast. The brett stays strong in the flavor and continues to the semidry finish. This wasn’t quite as sweet as the aroma led on, but the aroma was not all that sweet to begin with. Oak and vanilla was still apparent, as was a good amount of fruitiness again. There is also some light spices. Overall bitterness was low--mainly lightly sweet and tart. Alcohol very well hidden. Moderate carbonation with a medium body. This was quite a tasty brew, very enjoyable.

Jul 29, 2007 Pours a two finger thick cream head that fades slowly leaving a good lace. Cloudy amber color. Medium carbonation and medium bodied. Sweet/sour fruit nose. Flavor is complex it is almost sour fruit, almost apple, maybe some merlot, clean finish. High ABV is hidden. Wicked pricey - $22.00 for a 750ml corked bottle (2006) from Tully’s Beer and Wine Wells, ME.

Jul 27, 2007 (Bottle) Pours hazy orange to red. Unripe berries and fruits in aroma along with notes of wood. The fruitiness brings apples, pears and oranges as the most notable fruits. Light yeasty and some vanilla tones from the oak. The nose is a bit lemonade-ish. Medium acid and medium sweet flavour with some oak wood and some fruit tones of apples and pears to back it up. Also some grape hints. Light tart with an aftertaste of unripe berries. Also quite dry with a medium body.

Jul 20, 2007 Deep amber, huge head, great lace. Just looks wonderful. Nose of apricots and orange blossom, bread and Belgian yeast. Taste is orange and grapefruit, bread and yeast, red wine and oak, spice and orange again, with a long fruity finish. This aged wonderfully. Good big Belgian mouth.
