Poured from a bottle. Aroma is fruity with quite a bit of pineapple and stone fruit as well as other tropical fruits. A medium light phenolic note that is floral and spicy reigns in all the fruitiness. A faint pale malt note in the background. Medium light citrus aroma and a touch of an herbal character. Pours surprisingly clear for a Brett beer with a pale yellow gold color and a large, pillow, white head with good retention. High lacing and faint legs. Flavor is slightly sweet but finishes very dry. In the sweetness you get pineapple, mango and stone fruit. Hints of melon and moderate citrus are also there as well as a strawberry note. As the sweetness recedes a phenolic note adding a nice spicy, herbal and woodsy character takes hold. Medium to medium high bitterness. Faint cracker malt notes in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium high carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a pretty enjoyable Brett IPA where the yeast notes work really well with the hop character. It?s difficult to pinpoint which components are from the Brett vs the hops. I like that the malt really takes a back seat.

Capped 750 from Bine & Vine. Pours hazy lemon gold with a creamy, large white head. Aroma of brett/funk/sweat sox. And grapes - but not vinegar. Med body or so. Flavor is brett/funk and there’s a lot of fruit which seems to include citrus and grape. It is incredibly tasty. Clean and refreshing. Amazing.

Last bottle of the tasting - thanks to Nolen! Pours hazy pale yellow with a large white creamy head that dissipates slowly with nice lacing. Aroma is tons of Brett with a lot of tropical stuff underneath, passionfruit, mango, sweat socks. Flavor is very light sweet going to dry, light plus bitter, medium funky, Brett and more Brett, tropical notes. Medium body. I really liked this one, but others certainly had a different opinion.

The beer is bright, pale yellow, clouded over. Voluminous white head. Rocky and a touch fizzy. A little bit of lacing. The aroma is an excellent blend of hops and funk. Nelson is upfront, bright and fruity, while underneath there is an earthy, mushroomy, dirty brett. It’s grapes and pineapples. Light acidity. Mild crackery pale malt. The beer is dry with moderate to medium bitterness, at least for a hoppy brett beer. The mild acidity comes though to taste. It oozes funk, but the fruity hops remain bright and juicy. Light on the palate, softly effervescent. This is an excellent blending of hops and brett. A very fun beer for anyone that likes this combination.
