Pours a hazy deep golden copper color with a white head. Aroma is some green apple, brett, lots of juicy citrus hops. Flavor is some malts, fruit, brett, and a long grassy, grapefruit bitter finish.

750 ml bottle courtesy of after4ever, purchased at Bottleworks in Seattle, WA. Pour is cloudy golden orange with a half inch white head. Aroma of sour, funk and some bright Amarillo hoppiness. Engaging nose, very unique smell. Taste is grassy, hoppy and very dry. Finish is resinous and lingering. Amarillo is present throughout the taste. Maybe some Brett in the end. Really easy drinking and refreshing. Clean was the word that kept popping in my head as I was drinking this.

750ml bottle pours out a cloudy gold topped with a white head. Odd nose of ligth hops belg spice. Pretty cool the IPA/Belg combo. I am glad i had it but would not be a everyday brew for me.

Bottles from Sparky27 and Miketd - thanks! This one is my only bottle of batch 2 (the others are B!) and I wanted to see how I liked the fresh hop taste (as opposed to the brett later on). This one has a golden color with a big bubbly head. Aroma has some light citrus, yeast, and acidity. Flavor is somewhat hop dominant - a bit of Duvel mixed with a fresh IPA. Amarillo shines though here with some assorted floral hops, light brett, and a bit of tripel-ish sugar. I really liked it, but I have a feeling that if the brett kicks in this will be one outstanding beer.

Original sample courtesy of Puddintane, available here now and more bottles on the way from 5000. Golden/orange with huge rocky white head. Aroma has a huge floral and citrus kick up front. Grapefruit, ortanique, faint pineapple. Slight yeast character shows through as well. Flavor on par, big fruity esters up front, again mostly grapefruit, fades to spicy herbalness. Very yeasty through the middle, fades to a tosted/biscuity finish. Medium-soft carbonation, can’t wait till the brett really kicks in.

Bottle shared at Butter’s Big Cellar Blowout. Clearish orange pour with good wispy white head and lacing. Bready belgian spiced yeast aroma. Flavor is floral earthy hop with belgian yeast. cotton candy, fruity hop, with sweet malt backbone. Nice balance. With medium syrupy body. Very good and Very expensive.
