11.2 oz bottle. So I’m guessing this is what mikkeller considers to be a light beer. I probably would like it a lot more if it were sold in a 24 pack and were a lot cheaper. Oh well. That being said, I still enjoyed it for what it was. It’s hard to expect this one to be quite on par with some of mikkeller’s other offerings. The aroma is light and fruity with a decent amount of brett yeast present. The pour had a decent layer of light head, and a mostly translucent, golden colored body. It has a lighter but not watery, and fairly crisp body. The flavors don’t pack a whole lot of punch, but I sort of expected that. Flavors notes of light funky fruits, some sugary sweetness, and some wheat and mixed Belgian grain. I was not overly impressed nor overly turned off by anything in this beer. Really, its just a pretty mild, light Belgian ale.

Dec 29, 2009 11 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow color with a small white head that quickly dissipates to a faint ring. The aroma is strong with sweet apples, pears and some funky sour grapes. The flavor is similarly funky but much of the fruit promised in the nose never materializes in the taste. The palate is somewhat thin and watery, with fizzy carbonation. The finish is short and funky. Overall: I like the funkiness but this beer just falls apart with the weak palate.

Dec 20, 2009 Bottle... Poured hazy golden with a thick, white head. Really potent Brett all over the aroma with the horse blanket, barnyard funk. Nice dry beer. And it’s great that it’s 4.5%. A lot of beers like this brewed in the states are much stronger with the abv. Light fruit flavors, with the bretty finish. Acidic and bacteria-like yeast notes all the way through.

Dec 13, 2009 11.2oz bottle. Pours hazy straw color, topped with an average sized white head. Beautiful, funky aroma with lactic acid and lemon the primary fragrances, and wheat and sour apple in the background. Flavor is wheat and wild yeast for an instant, then a totally unexpected peaty, ashy flavor enters the mix. The flavor is not as alluring as the aroma. Finishes with an earthy, peaty flavor, along with some wild yeast. Not bad, but the flavor is much more impressive than the taste.

Dec 8, 2009 Very clear pale gold. Some particles floating, but not cloudy. I did not pour the dregs from the body. The aroma is funkier than the flavor with sour apples and very light horse blanket. The flavor is much less sour than expected from the flavor, but the slight tartness is quite refreshing. One of the more chuggable sour ales I’ve had.

Dec 6, 2009 Bottle at Pizza/Birreria Paradisio. Pours a hazy yellow gold with a thick dense creamy white head. Nice big brett and funk, big and cheesy. Sweet, not as funky as the nose would suggest, but a nice big brett component. Dry and more brett on the finish. A little thin and one dimensional, but still tasty.

Dec 6, 2009 12 oz. bottle from Greens. Pours a fizzy cloudy gold. The nose is extremely funky. Sharp notes of strong cheese, foot, body odor, egg, overripe fruit, and mossy earth. In a nutshell strong and fecund. The flavor is much more mellow. Still a lot of funk, very dry, quite tasty. Gets better as it warms. Hell yes.
