This tart blonde ale was brewed with our wild friend Brett riding shotgun. The longer you let him ride, the more horsepower this brew gets. So when you’re ready for a spontaneous adventure, scoot over and let Brett take the wheel.

Straightforward slightly funky blonde ale, not as much Brett as expected (good thing)

Bottle shared during RBWG 2015. Pours mostly clear yellow with a wimpy, white foam head. Light funk in the nose, some candied lemon peel, pale bread. Light sweet flavor with mild tart citrus, dry straw, mellow bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Moderately dry on the finish with some more biscuity pale malts, subtle lemon notes. Not bad.

50cl bottle from alexsdad06 pours a hazy gold with some frothy, white head. Nose has a nice mix of straw, lemon peel, mild celery, some vitamin C tablets, some tropical fruit, lime. Flavor follows right along, some citrus juice, mildly zesty, tropical fruit, some celery too, some green bell pepper, some straw. Dry finish. Very drinkable.
