Copper colour with soapy head. Aroma is very intense with wild funk. Really dry too. Flavour is similar but less intense. Very dry finish.

Thank you for sharing RB Crew! Sampled 750 ml. bottle @ GBF 2017. Dark orange, tanned head. Nose is drity brett, hugely malty, dark bread malt filled with dirty brett. Taste is dirty mop brett, band-aid, dark bread malt,… Heavy brett body. Weird & this strain of brett didn’t appeal to me. There was once cherry here? Not all bad but not all that either.

Bottle shared at Borrie’s curry tasting. Hazy orange golden with small off white head. Dank wet socks, sharp funk, horse sweat, don’t really get much cherries but there’s some weird berries, soft malts and minerals. Light sweet and medium bitter. Just medium bodied with soft fizzy carbonation. Not bad but very sweaty.
