Draft @ Max’s. Pours a murky, yellowish brown color; off-white head with gorgeous, fine-bubbled lacing, coating the glass. Pleasant aroma: slight lemony tartness, some minimal brett, yeastiness and Belgian sugars; solid, intricate stuff. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: relaxed brett, lemony citrus, breadiness and toasty malts, some Belgian sugar; a bit too heavy overall, this would be better with more time for the brett to settle in; sharp carbonation. Medium finish: lemony citrus, breadiness, and toasty malts; dry.

Jun 22, 2008 On tap at Dek’s. Aroma of Belgian yeast, spices, pear, lemon, some bittering hops, hint of funk. Funk and hops kick in more in the mouth, but all the more typical Belgian ale qualities remain, no overpowering sourness with the funk. Delicately crafted combination of what seem to be very standard flavors to achieve a very fine whole.

Jun 19, 2008 On tap at Dek’s. Pours a light orange with lots of thick white head. Aroma of sweet fruits (raspberry), spices. Smells very good! Flavor of zingy spices, sourness/funk, orange peel, Belgian yeast, apple and other light fruits, and slight bitter hops. Dry finish. A very interesting beer with a lot of complex flavors that seemed familiar to me. I just wanted to keep drinking this until I discovered what lurks in its mysterious depths. Quite drinkable.

Jun 12, 2008 Tap at blind tiger. Pours like the blonde- hazy light orangey yellow with a nice lasting white head. Aroma is funky and horsey, not of the wall funk or barnyard, but has some nice hay character, saltiness, light plasticy phenols and some burning wire- reminds me of a natural brett infection I get in some homebrews. Flavor is nice and bready malts, nice blegian salty earthy character with just a modest amount of funk and a light acidity- not fully funked out yet, but could get more funky as time goes by. This turned out a bit better than I thought and was definitely better this time around than the first time I had it about 4 months ago.
