750ml (thx, Matt!) @ SF
Aroma: Brett, bold, funky.
Taste: along the same lines, low carbonation, some sweetness. Almost no complexity in taste, mostly one (Brett) dimensional.
Overall: ok.

750mL bottle, pours an opaque dulled orange with a small white head. Aroma has a ton of brett, plenty of fartiness, and some feint tangy citrusy hops. Flavour is much the same, with plenty of farmhouse funk, some floral dry-hopping, and a touch of oakiness. Oaky, bretty, and nicely constructed. Good stuff.

Dullish, pale tan. Thin head. It's got a bit of brett on it, nice floral, citrusy hop accents. On the body, very soft, low carbonation, although maybe a bit of somewhat harsh graininess.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Hazy deep gold with small white head. Mild brett, fairly dry and floral, feint hint of dank hops, hint of oak barrel, overall a touch subdued, but blends nicely. Decent.

750mL bottle. Pours murky light gold with a white head. Lots of Brett and musty funk on the nose. Flavour has Brett, oak barrels, some dusty funk, a gentle herbal character. Nice.
