Courtesy of Redlight. Thanks Brent for sharing this rare treat. Poured a golden blonde with a thin white head. The aroma was of citrus fruits, spices, and some hops. The taste is pretty similar with a mild blend of sweetness and spices together. It had some malts in there and some brett like characters, but not real sour. This was an interesting blend of a lot of things. It finished off clean with some spices in the background. Nice collaboration with this one, glad I got to try it.

Bottle shared by theisti. Pours a cloudy orange-gold with a thin white cap and wispy lace. The nose is of Belgian yeast, light (Pils?) malt backed by a blend of sweet and lightly spicy hops that make it difficult for me to distinguish individual notes. Light-bodied and slick with a very dry finish. The flavor follows the nose with a dry and lightly spicy finish; a dry, bretty quality asserts itself after the swallow. This is a nice beer. Thanks again for sharing it with us, Tim.

Bottle shared by Taverner, pours hazy pale orange with creamy white head. Nose is yeast, farmhouse funk like with some and banana and other fruit influence. Smooth on the palate, and better after each drink!

Luminescent earthy orange color with haze and thick tan head that lasts. Earthy, grassy aromas with a fruity background adding depth and complexity. Citrusy funk is mellow and integrated well. Orange pith, some tea leaves and pastry dough. Strong effervescence. Mouthfeel is fun and lively with playful prickles. Mellow, earthy, balanced, integrated flavors. A melting pot of herbs, minerals, flowers, fruit, and funk. Spiciness as in basil, arugula. Citrus zest. Some tannin-like astringency. Citrus juice splash finishes off the flavors with off-dry delightfulness. Solid, well-made brew.

Sample courtesy of superdave70 at hellbilly*s holiday tasting. Pours a hazy amber with a fluffy white head. Nose is yeasty, funky and fruity. Taste is funk, sweet malt, fruits and some floral hops. Medium dry mouth feel. Nice beer. Thanks Dave!

Crushed with CaryTheDude and JakeBra. Orange pour with a big white head. Great big, fruity, leathery aroma. Brett is apparent. Flavor is fruity, a bit citrusy. Hoppy, but a bit too sweet. Regardless, I’m digging it. Pretty good for a random collaboration, and a random pickup.

Pours clear yellow with a white diminishing head. Citrus, organge aroma. Hops, grapefruit with a dry end that is easy to drink.
