Bottle from Gambrinus. Pours a clear, light copper with a full 2 fingers of foam. Big aromas of horseblanket, green, wet hay and manure with a touch of overripe orange juice. Very crisp on the palate and dry with a wooded character. More musty cobwebs, orange and light melon. Dry, bretty finish that lingers.

Pours hazy gold into a snifter. Frothy white head with excellent retention recedes leaving gloppy lacing. Band aid and lemon aromas. Crisp with bandaid and aspirin front to back. Lots of Brett here.

375 ml bottle purchased at Redstone Liquors, Andover for $5.35. Snifter shows a turbid bright golden color with large lasting foamy head. Aroma has bold citrus, herbs, and substantial oak influence.
The flavor profile is deep. The brettanomyces is found throughout the sip with a mild citrus hint in the middle. Rotten tropical fruit notes. The finish has a lasting oak character. The body is medium with a earthy funky yeast. The beer is tart but not sour at all. The texture is bone dry and gives me cottonmouth. The hops and freshness make this very palateable for me. Nice brew!

(375ml bottle from Mikkeller Webshop) Pours a rather hazy dark gold with a huge pile of dense white foam that lingers well and leaves loads of lace. Aroma is tart, fruity and funky with citrus, pale stone fruit and under-ripe mango, straw, heavy barnyard, bready yeast. Flavour is slightly tart and bitter with low pale malt sweetness. White grape, citrus peels, honeydew melon, grass, Brett, light earthy funk, metallic tang in the finish. Medium bodied, smooth, moderate carbonation. Another nice Brett IPA from Crooked Stave, funkier than I recall the single hop versions being but not as distinctive a hop profile either.

This was poured into a tulip and treated as a wild ale.
The appearance was a hazy dark woody orange color with a thin layer of white foaminess. Light messy lacing.
The aroma takes on sharp bitter to sour citrus rind. Light pulp. Slight grassy bitter to sour hop oils concave into the beer nicely.
The flavor takes on crisp sour to sweet clinging hop oil bitterness. Semi-dry balancing sweet to sour in the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice balance between sipping and sessionable qualities. Low carbonation. Sourness feels good and sharp enough.
Overall, really nice AWA that I could have again.

Bottle courtesy of Andrew, shared with friends. Bottled July 2015. Cloudy orange bright, white resistant foam. Nose: orange peel, new leather shoes, a bit herbs/sage. Mouth: Brett is mild and elegant, tart in a proper way, light pepper. Great. Thank you Andrew! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draft at Old Chicago-Lakewood. Listed as sour/wild, but falls neatly into the Belgian IPS panel style. Yeasty notes, with the hop selection make for a fruity, snappy, floral mix. Mellow aroma leads into a folder flavor, finishes with a tingle. Nice. Re-rate 6/15/17 at Taphouse. no change.
