Jul 5, 2009 A huge thank you to Dickinsonbeer for opening up his cellar and sharing one bottle each of all three batches. My rating here is batch 3, although batch 1 ran a close second for me. 375 ml bottle. The cork nearly exploded out of the bottle when Paul pulled it. Pours a beautiful brilliant clear gold with a moderate white head. There is some funk in the nose, but nothing heavy. There is also a bright, fruity tartness along with some oak in the aroma. The flavor is very interesting and has a few different things going on that all comes together perfectly. There is chardonnay and some mellow oak. There is a also granny smith apple and a bit of lemon, which adds a brightness to the flavor. The brett adds some funk, but it doesn’t dominate or overwhelm. Bright, lively and clean on the palate. Excellent!

Caged and corked 375 courtesy of pantanap. Thanks a bunch Kan. Pours a deep golden color, mostly opaque, with a medium large white head that slowly deflates. Loads of funky brett aromas. Light acid, leather, old books, rice wine vinegar. Starts off much sweeter than I had anticipated, with light caramel notes. Texture is gorgeous, lively small carbonation, but nothing overbearing. Light sourness, gentle, not bracing. Lots of subtlety here.

May 18, 2009 Draft for Sourfest 2009 at Brouwer’s. Pours clear golden with white head. Wonderful citrus and sour aroma (smell of the Brett). Sour is definitely dominating with some apple and grapefruit coming through. Pretty simple and straightforward, but a good sour with a great finish.

May 16, 2009 Tasted at SWB’s Sour Fest along with 15 others. Pours a light gold with plenty of rising bubbles and leaves lots of lacing. The carbonation is definitely noticeable. Aromas of sour sugar and apple, slightly oaky. Fairly simple sour that actually got flatter as it warmed.

May 16, 2009 On tap at Brouwer’s for Sour Fest. Pours a golden pilsner like color with bubbles and moderate lacing on the head. The aroma was flat sourness and the taste matched.

May 6, 2009 The color is a hazy orange-gold with a lively white head (gushed just a bit). Aroma has a pleasant funky sourness that can only come from my pal Brett. Some wood, wine, and citrus detectable as well.
