Bottle at RBSG. From notes. Very good. Citrus and tropical fruits with loads of pineapple and mango. Holy crap I could drink this every day. Very good.

Bottle at $7.99 here in Vermont. Chad should keep sending these beers to VT!!!!! Slight hazy pour with a 2 finger big bubbly white head that fades to some decent lacing. Lots of lovely dry wit yeast on the nose with a hint of brett trois funk and ropey notes. I don’t get a lot of citrus. Taste is certainly an orange bomb with lots of citrus, some funkiness at the finish. Unfortunately, this beer is full of metallic notes that taste like you’re eating a penny while drinking Orange Juice and nice horsey brett. For that, i can’t give this a 4 but without the metal, it would be a solid 4!

Bottle at home watching sox and yanks. Pours hazy yellow with white head. Light funky nose. Tastes of citrus, Brett, wheat, horse blanket, and light bubblegum. Lively palate and drying finish. Nice summer brew.

Bottle. Horseblanket, lemon and wheat malt aroma. Cloudy golden yellow with moderate but long-lasting head. Tart lemon, Brett and dry wheat malt flavor. Very good - lambic-like.

Bottle 2013 batch #3. Pours with a hazed, vibrant golden yellow hue with a medium sized white head. Aromas are strongly citrusy and zesty, tangelo, fennel, blood orange, black pepper, moderate phenols, grains of paradise and a light tropical funk. Flavors are very complex, phenolic and spicy. Star anise, grains of paradise, fennel, very dry, tangerine and mango with mildly bready grain and funk. Can get a touch plasticky at moments as it warms. Lightly vinous. Quite delicious. Lively bubbles, very drinkable, lightly tart, medium bodied. Perhaps a touch too spicy, but very delicious.

Bottle. Pours hazy golden with a large white puffy had and great lacing. Aroma is brett, funk, citrus. Flavor is the same, fruity, citrus, funky, barnyard, light initial sweetness dries out quickly. Not getting a lot of wood, or for that matter coriander or other spices that are typical for a witbeer. This is a nice beer, but wits aren’t my favorite starting point for a Brett beer.

Bottle from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours dishwater gold with a foamy white head. Aroma is mildly bretty with some pissy/fruity aspects. So it’s good, so far. Med body. Flavor is bretty/funky/earthy/ citrus/fruity. So it’s still good. It’s finishing the same way, so it’s still good. Actually, it’s frickin brilliant!

Tap at the barrel cellar - turbid gold, with a thick, well-sustained head - aroma of strong oak, light funk, light basement, strong citrus rind - flavor is initially moderately acidic and medium dry - mild oak up front - middle has mild orange sweetness - some cheesy brett funk late, some light floral notes, finishing moderatelg acidic with a little bit too much bitter oak (but not nearly as bad as the spring) - it’s a decent brew.
