| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 25, 2009 I let this baby sit for almost a year. April 2008 batch. Well done! Pour was a clear gold with an incredibly thick fluffy white head (slightly over-carbonated?). The aroma was not too appealing for one who has never tried a brett beer before. Best way I can describe the aroma is skanky, yeasty, and (noble?) hoppy. However, everything in the brew seemed to play off of, compliment, or suppliment another characteristic. The ginger complimented the brett yeast I thought, and the dry finish from the hops gave it a particular drinkability that was wonderful. The more I drank, the more I enjoyed the somewhat "horsey" flavor. KnN (746), Greenbelt, Maryland, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 15, 2009 Thanks to the l1br4r14n for sharing this one. Pours a cloudy yellow with a really nice frothy white head. Aroma is yeast bandaids, brett funk, citrus and some nice fruit. Smelled wonderful. Flavor was tart, but not overwhelmingly so. A bit of spice hiding in the background, some nice citrus notes and some great brett presence. l1br4r14n (286), Washington, Washington DC, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Apr 15, 2009 Pours a cloudy, dark yellow with a generous, frothy white head. Strong aroma of yeast, and a hint of apple. Taste is definitely sour, but evens out a bit in the end. Flavors include some yeast, lots of citrus fruit. Very enjoyable.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 13, 2009 75cl bottle. Hazy gold-orange color with a big white head that recedes into a ring. The aroma has some lemon, melon, mustiness and light pepper. The flavor is dry with a refreshing citrus note, very light brett character, and light spicy hops. Medium-light with ample carbonation that dissipates somewhat quickly. Pretty nice, but definitely not worth the eleven bucks a bottle that it costs here, and not showing much brett character.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 7, 2009 pours a dirty tan gold, with big but somewhat short lasting head. Aroma of dust, hay, mustard, lemon zest; very much a saison with a dose of funk. Tastes of citrus, hay, light vinegar, mustard, dust, and grass. Finishes dry, dusty and grassy. Medium bodied, the high carbonation keeps things light. Good, but it’s totally what you’d expect. A saison with brett, wooo.
