angrypirate06 (706), Texas, USA Nov 15, 2009 Cork and cage. Nice loud pop with the cork. Hazy golden pour with a large head. Aroma is big time Brett, must, attic, dust, tart, lemon, citrus. Flavor is funky, tart, attic, sour, with a nice spice profile as well. Nice bubbly mouthfeel. MrChopin (630), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 14, 2009 Golden-copper with a fizzy white head, gone quickly. Grainy, musty, and moldy, light spice and fruit with almost no detection of malt.Fizzy, grainy flavor, fruit and bread with a slightly orange finish and lightly spiced with sugar. Too fizzy and short, and given the emptiness in the flavor, it’s rather bland. jeffc666 (1889), Fairfax, Virginia, USA Nov 10, 2009 Batch #2 October 2008 - Clear amber with a very fizzy rollicking and roiling light tan head. Basement aroma, dust and some moldering fruit. Flavor is a bit fruitier with medium to strong notes of brettanomyces. Some spiciness comes through as well as a pronounced bitterness. Fizzy dry attenuated mouth-feel. Pleasantly puckering. It needs a bit more substance to go along with the bacteria funk. thenick (744), North Bellmore, New York, USA Nov 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden orange with an off-white head. Aroma is sour fruit, a bit of soap typical for the style, hops, and some barnyard characteristics. Taste is light fruit up front, with a soapy/hoppy/barynard finish that really brings the whole beer together. I liked it very much. patrickfannon (287), Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 31, 2009 Updated: Nov 1, 2009Bottle. 25.4 oz. Pours slightly murky orange with an off-white head.Aroma of sour fruit, wheat, hops, hay, soil, and hints of lemon. Medium bodied. Moderate, sweet mouthfeel. Very good. mar (1760), Dallas, Texas, USA Oct 27, 2009 batch 002 from october 2008. deep orange/amber with a thick cream head. nose is dried fruis, slight cherry and a tart nose. very smooth on the palate with a flavor of citrus, dried apples and funk. tronraner (1908), Seymour, Tennessee, USA Oct 14, 2009 750 mL bottle. Pours a deep coppery orange with big offwhite head. The aroma is an interesting spicy lime with some oak, obvious brett, a little bit of leather, and a little bit of super-ripe berries. The flavor is rather dry with a sort of lime, oak, and lavender mixture, some spiciness, and a bit of earthy leather. The finish is nice and dry with plenty of brett character. A slight cheesy funk with some vanilla lingers into the aftertaste. A pretty tasty beer here. CheersMate1 (784), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Oct 2, 2009 750 oz. purchased at Mac’s on West Peachtree. A little expensive, but you only have one life to live! Haze orange/brown color. Head fades away fairly quickly. Tart apple aroma. Slight sweet fruit aroma as well. Somewhat of a pungent aroma. I like the sour aroma, but it is not incredibly nuanced. Interesting flavor. It is not that sour at all. There is a slight sour flavor, but it has a slightly sweet fruit flavor as well. I taste the brett only slightly which is a let down, wish it had more of a presence here. Slight spice at the very end. Not an incredibly awesome beer, but it has its moments. Beer is slightly smooth.
