Poured a hazy copper color with a thin off-white head. Bretty yeast aroma with a mild sweetness. Light leather notes. Citrus and tart flavor with a mild acidity. Bretty bitter finish. Light body with a dry finish. Very nice beer that I hope will keep evolving.

750ml Bottle: Tart aroma. Smells of tart fruit, Brett, oak, acid, and light spices. Poured amber/apple juice in color with a small white head. Sparkling. Hazy. Aroma is very sour and tart. Tastes of tart fruits, oak, and lemon. Medium body. Dry, puckering texture. Lively carbonation. Tart, dry finish.

Bottle. Amber beer with a low off-white head. Nice sour acetic aroma with oak and a light fruitiness. Acetic (but not over the top) flavor with oak and soft malt to round. Some green apple notes as well. Medium body. Acetic not lingers nicely. Brett shows nicely in combo with the acetic quality.

Bottle opened post Belgian Beer fest in ME. Wow what an awesome creation. A sour dry puckering fruit infusion of lemon citrus and sour apples. Brett and simply put by BK at the time "its just sour", and whats not to love about that, i couldn’t find much.

Notes from Hair of the Dog Dave Tasting. Pour is golden copper with small white head. Yeasty aroma with some sour funk and fruit notes too. Sour taste but not overpowering. Nicely carbonated and lasting finish.
