Bottle courtesy Gillard. Pours a hazy golden with a small white head. The aroma is reminiscent of a perm salon mixed with a leather shop that has a lot of sweet tarts. This is one of the strangest beers I have ever smelled. The taste is the same as the aroma. Medium thin mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness. This beer is strange. I’m going to have to cellar this one to see if it improves with age.

Aug 29, 2008 bomber. pours a brilliant golden with a solid white fluffy head. aromas of yeast (Brett) and not much else. nice and peppery on the front of the palate with an overall soft feel. I’m not getting any fig within this one as the label declares. solid finish with the yeast and tartness coming through.

Aug 29, 2008 This was weird, very spicy, yeasty, and saisonesque. I’m not sure if i would have it again, but it was a very interesting tasting experience. I didnt care for the pepper vibe to it, but all in all it was a fun time drinking this beer.

Aug 25, 2008 22oz bomber, no date from Brennan’s in Madison. Nice copy of the Bruegel label--or is it some famous painting?Fermented with 100% Brett? Huzzah!--hopefully. Clear medium golden with a 11/2 finger off-white head, good retention. Aroma has the undeniable aroma of brett--dry, lemony, leathery, and slightly buttery--with some light cherry cough syrup in the back-end. A little peach is present as well--smells pretty clean, actually. Flavor isn’t quite as nice, with straight alcohol and grain coming forth. I could pick up on only a hint of floral notes (hibiscus, perhaps?) with the white pepper coming forth towards the finish. Plenty of cough syrup notes as well. Dry finish, bitterness peaking around a 2-3 and sourness at a 2. Moderate carbonation with a medium body. Started out promising, but fell flat. I don’t care what Andy says, he’s wrong and a jerk.
