Oct 16, 2008 Date: 10/10/2008 Sample at Avery tasting room during GABF week. IPA with Brett fermentation in secondary. Aroma was funky hops - no surprise there. Orange golden with small white head. Flavor was a mixture of hops and farmhouse funk. Needed a bit more sourness I think. Folks really into Lambics might like this, but it was a waste of effort on me. 2 points for originality!

Oct 9, 2008 2008 GABF week @ Avery. Unfiltered hazy gold color with a white head. Weird funky brett band-aid nose... the brett is the same used in 15th Anniversary, and sorry, I just can’t stand it... not sure if it’s the particular strain or just how Avery uses it, but it really just comes off far too heavy with the band-aid and plastic phenol notes. Old cheese, feet funk... I mean, that sort of stuff is good when you do it right - see Chouffe, Zinnebir and Taras Boulba - but here nearly all of the hop character is gone from the IPA, and it’s just a messy, band-aid heavy mess... smells like your foot after it’s been wrapped in gauze for a week.
