Aug 7, 2008 The pour produces a hazy gold colour with a sudsy off-white head. The nose has ample funk, sugary sweet malts, sweat, dirt, peppery spice and some wet hay. It is certainly musky and has an underlying apricot-jam aroma. The flavour is absolutely filthy, with wild yeast hitting you right away, later moving toward an even muskier and sweatier finish, that is crisp and short. There are flavours of citrus, wheat, banana/clove, peppery spice and FIG. The palate is thin, sharp and very dry in the finish. Different and nice, but a little weak. The finish is a little metallic, but it’s far more funky and dirty.

Aug 7, 2008 Tap at Barcade. Cloudy yellow-golden brew. Aroma is quite leathery and bretty with an underlying brown sugary sweetness. Interesting cologne/muskiness behind the sweet light wheatiness. The aroma is really quite lovely as it begins to warm up. A light honeyed sweetness playing around behind the spicy/cologne brettiness. Flavour is lightly sweet as well with some light earthy hoppiness and a lingering funky/musky flavour. A bit of berry and lightly smokey flavour on the back as well. It’s pretty solid, especially for these guys.

Aug 7, 2008 Tap at Barcade: Hazy golden pour with a fading white head. The aroma has some decent characteristics of green apple skins, light vinous notes, white grapes, and a touch of oak. Crisp, light mouthfeel. Flavor is a bit less impressive. Some dry notes upfront with mild ’bretty’ hints and oak tannins. This is followed by a sharp apple skin bitterness, an alcohol flavor and a touch of acetone. The finish is peppery and tannin-filled. Not very cohesive or successful, but I do like the idea of a well-known micro-brewer making Belgian style brews with strains of brettanomyces yeast. I hope to see more attempts at this style from other US micros.

Aug 6, 2008 Bright orange, bordering on carmine with a lively off-white head. Loads of Bretty farmhouse funk in the nose with leather, melon rind, mold. Sweet, sour, astringent with some band aid. Cereals predominant on the background of Brett. Spices here. Some raw, slightly unripe figs but fruitiness not so pronounced. Unique complexity but tastes a little immature.

Aug 6, 2008 From tap at Pizza Port, Carlsbad. Pours almost clear orange with a lacing white head. Milky and acidic aroma. Flavour is spiced and milky lacto to light acidic/citric brett. Dry yet mild spiced with a light acidic touch into the finish. Interesting new brew from Avery.

Aug 5, 2008 22 oz Bomber-Poured a cloudy golden color w/a moderate white head. Great spiced Belgian aroma. Flavor really jumps out & grabs you, yeast, spice, floral traces, figs, & cane sugar. Very fresh, a little rough around the edges, but in a good way. Tastes very pure & unfiltered. I really liked this one a lot; Long spiced finish.

Aug 5, 2008 I would have to be in just the right mood for this, and I wasn’t. Tap at Pap. One of the most effervescent Belgians I have had: like a carbonated Farmhouse. Hops, yeast, straw, unripe strawberry and funk are the flavor features, with all but the berry showing up in the nose. A VERY clean beer, but flavor is not particularly engaging.
