| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 13, 2008 Hazy amber orange color, large head with good lacing and retention. Aroma is funk, sugar, fairly fruity, grass, some barnyard action, bread, sugar, more. There’s quite a bit going on here. Medium bodied, somewhat dry finish but there’s definitely some bret there as well. I dunno, it just didn’t do it for me. Lots going on, but not my preference. xmarcnolanx (798), Kirkwood, Missouri, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Sep 11, 2008 Nose is kind of dusty, yeasty, funk, brett, citrus, sweetness.
Taste is sweet, some bitterness, more sweetness, some citrus.
Bitter in the finish
This is so drinkable.
Fantastic head that is rocky as hell and rings the glass the whole time.
Some alcohol initially in the palate, but it goes away quickly.
Some wateryness in the finish too, all of that detracts from the finish, which is also bitter, but slightly cloying.
Very yummy. BOLTZ7555 (1099), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 10, 2008 Updated: Sep 12, 2008This was a mess. Typically, I’ve enjoyed beers from Mikkeller but this one sucked. Very tart in the nose but has a flavor reminiscent of Louisiana tea. Dry, grassy, with an unnatural sweetness. Cloying. Blah. If this is alive, someone put it out of its misery!!! badgerben (3605), Blaine, Minnesota, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 10, 2008 Thanks to EddieB23! Murky copper color with no head. Very dry, floral hoppy aroma. Crushingly bone dry taste right off the bat. Lots of floral hop and a little dried apricot. A pinch of the Bretty dustiness. Ethereal (1500), London, Greater London, England

Aroma is god awful - dried sweat, mold, hint of citrus. Flavour is malty, with dusty, musky , leathery notes. Ok palate.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Sep 6, 2008 750mL bottle. A murky rust-colored pour with a big tan head. A funky herbaceous, slightly musty aroma that features some mustard, pepper, a spicy tanginess, a strange medicinal sweetness and a weird cleaning solvent quality. Medium body with decent balance. Some slightly toasty candied caramel upfront that quickly transitions to lots of bitter herbs. A yeasty cheesiness throughout. Very unique stuff. rudolf (1782), Buffalo, New York, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 6, 2008 Bottle, shared by Swoopjones - Thanks! Sampled with Mike, Paul & Harry. Slightly cloudy light brown, white head. There is some nice brett there as well as a good amount of malt (more than I really wanted), and maybe a bit of oxidation. Its reallly bitter. Not IIPA bitter, but keerist theres a lot of bitterness in there. The maltiness is a bit too forward (for me) but the brett is quite nice. blutt59 (2145), Dallas, Texas, USA
