Light amber, hazy and with a fairly thick head. Aroma has a lot of bright melony kiwi hop along with earthier brettanomyces. Earthy bitterness, light brett, and a more biscuity malt finish.

Sample at The Source. Hazy yellow color with a medium foamy white head that recedes steadily to an outer ring.Stringy lacing. Aroma of funky fruit, hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of tropical fruit, brett yeast, resiny hops and malt. The finish is tart and fruity with a funky yeast aftertaste. Good beer all around.

375ML picked up at parker pie in VT. split 2 ways at fridge temp. Looks like fresh squeezed Orange juice. 2 finger head, probably would be a little clearer if it sat upright for a while. Smells fantastic. New Zealand hops for sure, clean, juicy, fruity, passion fruit and pineapple with grapefruit Just a slight brett funk. Good crisp mouthfeel. more juice has a lot of american pale ale characteristics. I like the funky brett taste a lot. huge fan of this variant.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy pale gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of flora with sweet citrus and a decent amount of funk. Flavor has a light tartness and bitter citrus supported by funk and earthy grains.

Bottle at home after getting home from us open. Creamy hazy yellow orange with big head. Nose is funky and grassy. Tastes of lemon, peach, stone fruit, grassy, and funked up barnyard. Tart and creamy. Kinda odd one.

375mL bottle, pours an opaque peachy golden with a large white head. Aroma is very funky, with dry citrus hopping, barnyard funk, and hay. Flavour is elegant and complex as hell, with loads of barnyard funk, dry citrus hopping, hay, and horse blanket. Super complex, with loads of depth. Phenomenal stuff.
