A Belgian style ale that pours bright with an egg shell cap that leaves sticky lacing above the sunset orange color. Our primary Belgian yeast strain is accompanied by Brettanomyces Bruxellensis for two fermentations that create deeper aromatics of stone fruit and farmhouse pollen and flavors of honey and green tea.

Draft at Churchkey. Poured a slightly hazy golden amber color with a very large white head - once it settled down, I took a crack at it. Aroma was some spicy funk character, light malts, mild sweetness. Flavor had some spice funk character, grain. Pretty refreshing.

Pour is a hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma is Fruity Belgain yeast and maybe some candi sugar. Flavor is Belgain yeast, not much of the Brett though, with a sugary finish. Alcohol shows up a lot more that I ever would have expected. This was ok, nothing great. Get a sample on draft so you don’t have to pay for the overpriced bottle version.

Draft. Cloudy golden amber color, huge white head. Aroma of dusty white pepper and mild barnyard. Taste is slightly funky and peppery biscuit, straw, light spice. Nice. Resembles a saison.

Tap @ Perennial. Pours a fairly clear golden orange appearance with an off white head. Zesty citrusy, a touch funky, mild aroma. Tangerine/orange, mild funky, bready flavor. Not hard to drink but not much going on.

Growler shared by JohnF. The pour is a lightly haze darker orange golden, with only a small off white head. The aroma is sweet caramel malt, some light brown sugar sweetness, and some yeast esters in the back. The taste is the sugar sweet malt, nice floral expression, and clove ester yeast in the back. The palate is medium to heavy bodied with soft carbonation. All the flavors integrated nicely. Didn’t realize this was supposed to have Brett until I read the description, there is none present at the moment. With the residual sweetness in the beer, I would be curious to see what the Brett will eventually do to the beer. Thanks for bringing this back and sharing, John.

5oz pour at the brewery. What a nice surprise on my visit to the brewery. Unfortunately, the brett has not taken hold (yet). The beer is a dark amber color, too dark to see through. It is just a lame duck beer at the moment. Seems like there is a nice load of residual sweetness just waiting for some hungry bretts to come eat it up. Medium body, low on esters and fruits but Belgian sweetness dominates. I would like to see this in a little while.
