Has nice carbonation and a nice mouth feel. I like some Brett beers and a lot of sours; this was not one of them. jcwattsrugger (5567), Florida and, New Jersey, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours semi-hazy gold with a huge off-white head. Malty aroma with some funk and a bit of skunkiness. Tart and funky flavor with some bitter lemon and a semi-thin finish. No trace of spice until it warms up and then very faint. In all honesty, I probably wouldn’t have picked it out if the bottle didn’t tell. j12601 (1327), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA
