Surreal spontaneous sour ale aged in oak barrels
Spontaneously fermented in oak barrels, L'Brett d'Or's fermentation is kicked off with the help of the natural wild yeasts and bacteria residing around our coolship and native to our brewery. Since our spontaneous beers can only be brewed during the winter months, individual releases involve blending unique barrels to bring out the best of each brewing season. Characterized by funky citrus aromas, a crisp acidic bite, and a complex finish, L'Brett d'Or will continue to age with the best of them, gaining in complexity over the years.

Bottle share. Overly yeasty, in your face Brett, dominates aroma and taste. Light pale golden body, sharp, sour, tangy behind the yeast.

Draught at CBC 2014. Hazy hay yellow liquid with a small to medium white head. Aroma of peaches, lemons, bread, light vinegar and funk. Taste is dry and medium sour with notes of peaches and lemon. Light to medium bodied with medium carbonation. Really good.

On tap at The Source. Pours a clear gold with small off white head. The aroma is strong funk, oak, brett, and light fruit. Thin mouthfeel with a light brett, oak, and lingering dryness. Very impressive.

375ml bottle thanks to Toby. Pours out a hazy straw topped with a small white head. Nose is wood brett and green apple seeds. Taste is as the nose with a nice funk and pucker bite.

Location: Sampled at Where the Wild Beers Are, 6/7/14
Aroma: It has a fruity nose (peach, grapefruit), some brett, and tartness
Appearance: It pours a clear copper-orange color with an off-white colored head
Flavor: The taste is a mix of tart and sweet, fruity, and some brett
Palate: The body is medium-plus, it has a decent mouthfeel, and a tart finish
Overall Impression: This is a pretty solid beer. It wasn't a stand-out at the festival, but a very enjoyable beer none-the-less.

Poured from a 375mL bottle, 2013 - batch 2. Aroma is fairly nice with quite a bit of pineapple and tropical fruit. Light oak and malt notes. Faint diacetyl notes. Light acidity. Medium light lemon and citrus. Pours a slightly cloudy, pale yellow-gold with a small, thin, white head that quickly recedes to the edges where it lingers. Light lacing and medium sized legs. Flavor is moderately acidic upfront with touches of diacetyl. Medium light malt notes with some light oak character and medium light citrus. Moderate pineapple and tropical fruit notes. Finish has some oak, acidity and light malt notes along with hints of tropical fruit. An interesting, slight sweet floral note. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with moderate carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a pretty nice beer with a mellow, moderate acidity. Nice tropical fruit, pineapple and Brett notes with balanced oak notes. Hints of diacetyl, but it has improved and diminished with age.

Tasting at Chez Bruce. Thanks to Bruce. Very light haze on this pale gold beer. Small bubbly white head. Light crisp palate, slightly dry. Very slight soapy note. Minerally lemon. Bitter floralness. Light dry finish. The sourness burns a little after the swallow.
