Beerlando (2283), Orlando, Florida, USA Jan 1, 2008 Pours a lightly hazy, golden-orange color. A small, frothy white head leaves behind minimal sudsy lacing that mostly rejoins the body. The aroma shows the signature, subdued dry funk of Brett, followed by bready, yeasty scents and notes of creamy lemon chiffon. The flavor shows ample, varied, acidic citrus components. Oranges and lemons come to the forefront, but the bready notes are present throughout. The Brett dries things out nicely. Medium bodied, smooth, and very easy to drink. Similar to Ommegeddon, though perhaps not quite as dry. If you told me this was a Saison, I wouldn’t doubt it for a second. Good stuff. drfabulous (1212), Columbia, Missouri, USA Dec 31, 2007 On tap at Hopleaf, Chicago. Very light "Strong?" I ’d say farmhouse ale, with subtle funky aroma/taste from the yeast. I liked this one a lot and would have had another, but the bar was too packed to stay in for too long. dchmela (1406), Orlando, Florida, USA Dec 31, 2007 Pours light golden color. Sour apple aroma, very subtle, not overpowering. Very carbonated. Nice sour apple, caramel taste. Finishes dry and bitter, Very nice. KieferUGA (461), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Dec 31, 2007 Bottle courtesy of alexanderj, shared with kleyland and alexanderj at the GA-CA-VA-NY-MA pre-NYE Extravaganza Day 2. Pours a pure gold with a small, bubbly, white head. Aroma of clove and fresh cut grass. Flavor is really balanced between the bready malts and honey sweetness. Finish is dry and bitter with a bit of pepper. alexanderj (2212), Chino Hills, California, USA Dec 31, 2007 Bottle; poured a pure gold with a quickly diminishing white head. Aroma was of clove, yeast, must with some tartness. No one else picked up on any tartness in the aroma or flavor but I did. Not too pronounced, but had some characteristics of brett. It does seem from other ratings that it was bottled with some. Flavor was of bread, crystal malt, yeast, with a peppery finish. Good, not great beer. DragonStout (1380), Pataskala, Ohio, USA Dec 30, 2007 Pours golden with a thin lacing head.The nose is slightly tart and citrus.Flavor is bready and citrus, the tartness doesn’t show up.Must have been my nose.This finished off crisp and hoppy. bgburdman9 (822), Columbus, Ohio, USA Dec 28, 2007 Pours a golden color with a pretty big white head. Aroma was of some belgian yeastiness some really light lemony citrus hops and a really light mustiness. Flavor was really smooth and easy to drink. Not enough brett yet. Ill open another in a few months and this should be excellent. fordest (1954), Santee/San Diego, California, USA Dec 19, 2007 Sampled at PP SAF. Decent head on this golden orange pour. Citrusy aromas. Belgian yeast is evident too. Not too tart in aromas or flavor. Maybe the Brett will come in a bit later. I will have to re-visit my stored bottle in about 4 months. Flavor was still a bit hoppy but with a nice malty flavor too. Pretty good.
