Dec 16, 2008 650 ml bottle @ EBF 2008. Golden body with a white head. Aroma is dominated by a relatively mild kind of acidity. Flavor is refreshing fruity and spicy with a moderate acidity. Nice and interesting.

Dec 10, 2008 Sample draft at the tap room. Pour is murky straw yellow with a bit of white head. Nose is pretty bretty with some lemon and grass. Taste is not so good. Hangover vomit comes to mind. Sorry but I had to stop there.

Dec 9, 2008 Orange-straw with good, creamy white head / Funky nose of brett and green apple / Light to medium body, acidic yet resinous, fruit, with good, long finish / Funky flavors of brett, green apple, ginko, eucalyptus, white pepper / Not picking up the figs. Very Jolly Pumpkin-like, but less citrusy in favor of vegetal funk.

Dec 6, 2008 Pours a hazy yellow with a big, thick white head. There is a lot going on in the aroma. Apples, figs, some funk, pepper. Flavor is tart. It could be more tart. Its a bit salty, some funk. My enjoyment of this beer comes in waves, where, I seem to like it, then it turns my stomach, then I like it again. Explains the disparity in the range of reviews. I think the issue with this beer is the pepper and figs. Its better than the reviews would lead you to believe.

Nov 30, 2008 (10/26/08) Bottle at Barcade in Brooklyn. Hazy orange color. Aroma of some green apples, bretty notes and some malt. Sweetish-sourish flavor with some fruits, a bit too much yeast and some spicy notes. Medium-bodied with lots of carbonation. Quite nice.

Nov 30, 2008 I thought this was quite good. Pours a clear gold with white head. Its a strange combo of flavors. A little bit like a saison, lemon zest, grass, and funkiness, but also some fruit, banana, nuts, pepper, clove, and bread. This is underrated, I would like to celler a couple bottles.

Nov 28, 2008 Sparky sent this along to me as a bonus, thanks man. I was in the mood for something "different", and this fit the bill nicely. Pours a hazy orange/yellow, with some nice clouds. Nose is almost Christmas-y, spice, figs, plums, yeast, gingerbread, and clove. Dry finish with a nice mouthfeel. Flavor is solid for a farmhouse, the cheesecloth and funk take a backseat to the spice, but it didn’t bother me any. The dark fruit and spice work well together, and the christmas flavors work as balance. This one is underrated, I wouldn’t mind having one to age.

Nov 28, 2008 Poured a gold body with strong white head. Aroma is pleasantly funky. A bit of a letdown upon the first sip. Seems like a mess of fruit, spices, sugar. Just way too busy.
