Hazy orange in color with a medium well retaining off white head. Aroma: a good amount of american hops, mostly orange: amarillo? As well as some funky brett and light lemon rind. Taste is a bit mellower than the aroma, but still prietty nice with citrus/orange, a light malty sweetness, with light touches of tart brett and mild funk. Pretty good, and I am sure this will get better.

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.

750 ml bottle. Pours a very hazy antique gold with a moderate linen white head that lasted through two-thirds of the glass and left decent lace. Very pleasant aroma of yeast, caramel, and oranges. The flavor is more heavily dominated by Belgian yeast, with caramel and very little fruit. I purposely waited at least six months before opening this bottle to allow the brett to mature, and I have to say I was disappointed because there was none to be found. Light bitterness at the finish. Medium bodied. A good beer, but nothing special.

Hazy orange, moderate head with good lacing and retention. Aroma is fruity, bret, some basement notes as well. Bret is very minor, more of a fruity Belgian. Interesting, enjoyable.
