The beer pours to a dark chestnut colored body with a "water-bubble" like head. The aroma smells quite nice with interesting wine components. Smells sort of like a Russian River brew. Tart fruits, oak barrel, nice. Perhaps like Temptation? The flavor is tart with a very nice brettanomyces infusion. Smooth. I like this one a LOT. The palate is smooth, dry, sweet, sour. Very complex. Sombeast (151), Pewaukee, Wisconsin, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 16/20 | Dec 16, 2006 Bretty, barnyard aroma with a touch of malty bock-like caramel. The Heller doesn’t show through very much. Ruby color with almost no head. Sweet malty flavor that is fairly sour and thin. Finish has a touch of brown sugar and malted chocolate. It is just a little too watery in the palate. Almost no carbonation. It’s pretty good, but a bit watery. MIBRomeo (1966), Wisconsin, USA

Pours a brown color w/ some dark ambers in it and not much of a head. Aroma is odd. Definate bret notes some sour fruits and a good oak aroma some light malts and has even a light wine. Palate was fairly light and easy well coated. Flavor is a nice tart fruit w/ a hint of vinager in it lightly sweet.. some malty aromas lots of sweet fruits after the tart part. A bit sweet for my touch but nice and quite good. TheBeerGod (3173), Newport News, Virginia, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 11, 2006 Unlabeled bottle at Falling Rock. Called Heller Brett. Muddy brown with some ruby around the edges. Nose is strong wine and sour fruits. Not much of the bock aroma remaining. Taste is strong wine, sour fruits, some vinegar and faint malt. The sweetness is dominated by the wine character tart fruits. Body is under-carbonated with some slickness and astringency. Finishes with more sourness, tart fruits, wine and faint malts. Very sour beer and unfortunately, not much of the bock there at all. hopscotch (5549), Vero Beach, Florida, USA

Murky, caramel-colored lager with a small, creamy, off-white head. The Flemish nose is of oak, vinegar, caramel and light smoke with a kiss of sourmash. Tart, acetic flavor with mild caramel sweetness, wood and just a whisper of bitterness. Full-bodied with an abrasive mouthfeel and soft carbonation. Finishes sour, bitter, then dry.
