| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 3, 2009 Pours light golden with a massive soapy white head. The head releases an enticing aroma of sweet citrus and brett earthiness. Taste- brett plays a big role in this brew- very very dry, some alcohol heat, and lots of barnyard. Leather, rope, spice. There is still some fruity sweetness from the malt. Reminds me a lot like Jolly Pumpkin product. Mouthfeel is spritzy from the high carbonation. Drinkability is good, but my only complaint is the booziness. moejuck (1165), Ohio, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 2, 2009 Shared at DLD. Body is golden brown with a nice white head. Aroma is very citrusy, with a bit of spice in the back end. Light, crisp body--refreshing. Plenty of carbonation--normally throws me off--but it works well here. The flavor is light lemon/citrus flavors with bready yeast notes and some very light black pepper. Pinball (2975), Allerød, Denmark
