Bottle. Pours a hazy gold with a medium white head. Aroma has sour notes as well as stale fruits. Flavor is equally disappointing with the same stale notes with a particularly musky note. I expect better from Mikkeller.

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.

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.

Sweet, fruity, thin and flowery. Smells promising but ultimately it’s a letdown. The exclamation mark is totally unneccessary.

Thanks for this one, yespr! The bottle looks very simple, but okay. The beer in the glass very zippy, huge head. Sourish aroma. Starts also sourish, a bit salty-prickly. Becomes then a bit thiner. Finish shows sourish-woody notes, a bit grasy. Good beer!

pours gold with a medium white head. aroma is earthy with that barnyard funk going on. Some cider tones as well. flavour is quite dry and pretty funky. Some biscuity-cracker maltiness and a light hop presence in the finish.

11.5oz bottle from State Line. Big bubbly pour, pale amber, with not much of a head (rather, those big cider-like bubbles percolate throughout). Soft bretty nose with sour apple, a lot like those nice Spanish ciders folks have been digging of late. Clean and very drinkable, with just a hint of pepper detectable. Tasty but doesn’t leave much of an impression overall.

Bottle. Hazy with a small white head. Strange aroma of euro lager hidden behind sour brett. It realy is a light, like a beguinners brett-Beer
