Bottle courtesy of André. Hazy burnt golden pour with a frothy tan head. Bread, caramel, lemon juice, red pears & light funk in the nose. Tiny sweet, tiny bitter, slightly sour, malty, fruity & funky taste. Soft, round, slightly dry & tiny tart mouthfeel. Pleasant acidity but a bit heavy on the esters.
Pleasant acidity. Bit heavy on the pomme esters.

Thanks James for sharing the bottle! Poured into a snifter showing well filtered golden yellow with no head and light caramel tones. The nose shows moderately intense tart notes of brett and horseblanket. The palate is light bodied and well carbonated. Highly tart with a subtle sweetness and mild Belgian yeast influence that shows throughout. No alcohol bite despite the high ABV.

750mL from Popway, thanks!, drunk 7/8 and 7/9/17.
Starting this one at the end of the night proved difficult/stupid, so we opened it back up the next morning and it still poured a very nicely-carbonated, lightly hazy, bronze-honey golden with a medium-sized, firm, off-white head.
Soft yellow fruits in the nose emanate from what I assume to be the various yeast and bacteria. There's nothing aggressive here, though and it's easily and well-balanced by rich layers of vanilla, honey and graham cracker-like malts that work nicely in conjunction with the yellow fruit. A moderate amount of lactic acidity builds up on the finish, helping to dry things out while light oak provides more vanilla and fruit. No alcohol or flaw noted.
A well-balanced blend of fruity Brett, mild lactic acid and strong nectarine, apricot and peach with just a slight kick of acetic acid and moderate oak tannins to give it a lightly sour, but not aggressive, edge. Rich malts are soft and sumptuous but neither they nor the oak are overdone. Moderate, tight carbonation that lasted perfectly overnight. Seemed to get even better the next day.

Capped 750 from Cap Tap. Pours hazy orange tinged gold with a slight white head. Aroma is sour/acidic - arguably with some pale stone fruit. Near med body. Flavor is sour/acidic, but there’s a brief moment when fruit sweetness seems to come through. It’s funky tho. Finally there’s earthy oak astringency. Pretty acidic, but tolerable.

Pretty good sour although nothing exceptional. Aroma is really good, very fragrant with lots of spice Funk yeast, Oak. Flavor’s like nose, fairly dry, quite tangy, with oak in the finish. Great body.
