Bottle, sampled March ’09. Light gold, fluffy white head. Nose is honey malt, some yeast, a little grapey funk. Flavor is a bit "old" for lack of a better description. Slightly raisiny malt, yeast, nice enough bitterness. Flavor is flat & one dimensional overall though.

Bottle@Home. Brett aroma, leather and barnyard. Yellow colour, off-white head, good lace. Sweet, leather, spiced, hint of caramel. Unusual combination of starting sweetness and finishing leather.

Tasting session at jbrus. Bottled. Hazy golden coloured, big white head. Leathery nose, some citrus. Rather thick mouthfeel, brett, sweetness, more bitter towards the finish. Lasting bitter finish. Very interesting flavour, unusual but good.

Bottle: Gold pour with a finger of sandy head. Thick, small sheets of sticky lacing. Aroma of light florals and fruity hops. Some faint Belgian spices. A sweet and overall inviting aroma. Flavor is sweet and malty with citrus, florals, and a sweet faded citrus hop element. Mellows nicely as it warms to room temp. Belgian spices and yeast play a minimal role; seems like a cross of I2PA and barleywine... Rather tasty at that!

Pours an orange golden color with a medium to large sized foamy off white head. Notes of apples, earthy hops, bitter skunkiness, carmel, and spicy yeast. Lively mouthfeel. Medium to long finish.

Cloudy light brown mud puddle body with a thick effervescent head. Aroma is typical, somewhat dry, with an orange sweetness. Flavor is a bit dry and bitter up front with a caramel apple touch to it. Body is not too thick or sticky. Pretty tame overall, solid but not mindblowing.
