Apr 4, 2009 Bomber. Beer is slightly cloudy, medium amber-orange colored. Head is initially large, white, frothy. Diminishes mostly but stays as a creamy frothy thin lid.
The aroma is wild, sweet, fruity. Malty with moderate notes of cookie, toasted bread, lighter note of creamy caramel; Moderate lemon zest hop flare, lighter background of herb; Moderately/heavily yeasty with Bret notes of horse blanket and barn yard, band-aid, lesser note of bubble gum; Moderately vinous with a note of dried current
The flavor is moderately acidic/juicy/dry, lightly bittersweet. The finish is moderately long, lightly acidic and trace bitter. Yeasty notes from the aroma linger back in the retronasals.
The body is medium, the texture is watery and the carbonation is average/lively.
Plenty going on to sniff around at, but not really a stopper.

Mar 31, 2009 I was lucky to get to try a bottle early thanks to a friend. The label says 100% brett so I was expecting some funk and was not disappointed. The color was a hazy orange with a good head. It smelled funky, some grassy hay. The first taste was very funky and strange like grilled pork-fat. That may sound weird but it was good. As it warmed it became more of a spicy saison with funk. I’ll be looking to grab a couple bottles for aging purposes.

Mar 30, 2009 Mild semi hazy gold pour two finger head.
Aroma,not much goin on here.Mild yeast and flowers. Dryish body with a slightly fruity , mostly apricot, light bodied. Not impressed. They could have done much better with an anniversary beer.

Mar 24, 2009 Clear, bright amber/gold appearance with a large white head and good lacing. Yeasty, floral aroma, full of spices and soft fruit. Sharp, biting taste, with flowers, fruit and pepper competing for attention. Light-to-medium bodied, well carbonated mouthfeel. Pepper lingers in the aftertaste. Interesting, especially the nose.

Mar 22, 2009 Nice orange haze color. Translucent, with a nice fluffy white head. Very pungent yeast and fruit aroma. A nice pungent aroma. There is definitely a tart aroma. This is an extremely pungent beer. Nice aroma, but I am not a fan of the tart aroma. Very tart flavor. The fruit comes out as does the yeast flavors, but the beer just lacks a great mouthfeel. The flavors are also slightly weak. The yeast taste sticks around the longest. The funky tart taste dominates at first, but then the flavors settle in to the yeast and the fruits. I think that funky tart flavor just doesn’t do it for me. Overall, a decent Belgian ale.

Mar 21, 2009 Dull golden-amber with a head that could not hold. Peachy, woody aroma with a bit of brett and a lot of fruit (mainly fig, but some plum, apricot). Palate has hints of acidity, wood, a strong fig taste, light fruit. Neat beer - it’s going to improve a lot over the next six months as the brett becomes more prominent.

Mar 21, 2009 Really? Only a 3.19? Huh. Pours a lightly slightly hazed yellowish with a not so impressible thin white film head. The nose is bretty, very. Drier pineapple, definitely not as sweet smelling as most Avery beers. Like a low hopped Orval... but there’s something slightly peaty, or maybe that’s just antiseptic. The mouthfeel is thinner, though not watery, with low carbonation. The flavor is in line with the nose, very Bretty, perhaps a bit peaty, oddly. Fruity and dry, though not all the way dried out like this beer will be soon enough. Refreshing, slightly tart. I’d like to see how this shapes up.
