On cask at Iron Hill Newark’s Cask Fest...
Appears a hazy light gold with a mild white head that quickly fades into a gentle film and tiny collar. Small traces of CO2 slowly rise to the top. No lacing is left around the 12 ounce glass.
Smell is of barnyard citrus, lemon zest, funk, nectarines, freshly cut apples, rotten pears, and wet hay.
Taste is pretty much of the mentioned aromas but with an explosion of butter popcorn jellybeans...diacetyl gets the best in the flavor, unfortunately.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, tart, with a blast of molly mcbutter lingering along the palate that just ruins whatever enjoyment I was having for this beer.

Sep 12, 2008 On tap at the West Chester location. Poured a medium and cloudy golden color with a small sized head. Aromas of citrus, fruity, earthy, barnyard, musty, brett, and bananas. Tastes of lemons, brett, oaky, funky, and apples. Lightly tart and refreshing.

Sep 11, 2008 On tap at IH West Chester for the 08 MUG Club night. Pours a hazy golden/orange with a medium off white head that left some lacing. Aroma of brett, cereal grains, grapes, citrus notes, fruity, barnyard, touch of vanilla and floral. Flavor was a nice match of the same with some cereal/malty notes present, but the brett was there and complimented this golden ale nicely. Really nice Belgian Golden ale that showcased what brett can really add to a brew! Well done.

Aug 4, 2008 Tap at BCTC. This one didn’t do it for me. Funkhouse aroma is light but defined. Little complexity. A touch of grape in the flavor quickly degrades into toasted malts and then ugly, acrid mud. The finish is so bad that it completely destroys an otherwise fine beer. I guess this is the kind of beer you have to chug in order to minimize exposure to the finish :)
