Bottle, 2013 vintage. Gusher. Huge fizzling beige head takes an eternity to die back. Big Brett nose. Spicey and earthy, with hints of sour. Brett dominated the flavor, a little grain and florals as well. Sort of an odd partner to the Devotion I remember from 5-6 years ago.

Refrigerated 375 ml brown bottle corked and capped. Pours hazy golden with big white head. Tart aroma, medium body, well carbonated, and some lacing. Taste is slightly tart, yeasty, and dry finish.

Super hazy golden coloured body with a thick very soapy/frothy white head - really ugly looking. Aroma of sour malt, grapes, olives, soap, yeast and a bit of sweet peaches. Light-bodied; Sharp metallic and super super funky soap and yeast flavours that doesn’t work well at all. Grassy and hay flavours are just the beginning and then there are some permanent markers, yeast, pungent olives and a horribly bitter metal flavour. Aftertaste is just as bad with only bitter and offensive qualities in the palate and nothing good and new coming to terms. Overall, perhaps one of the worst beers that you’d expect to be moderately good. This was atrocious from beginning to end - not a good beer and not worth the money! I sampled this 37,5 cL split bottle purchased from Olive Tree Market Place in San Diego, California on 07-Jun-2013 for US$8.49 sampled at home in New Paltz, New York on 04-July-2013.

Bottle at BrewDog Stockholm. Hazy blond with a large white head. Aroma and taste of brett, wood, grape, wheat and light funk. Mild and nicely drinkable.

Cloudy, goldy with large white head. Vinous aroma with cherry, lemon and brett. Taste is a little bit citrusy with some light caramel and spices.

375mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a humungous lingering foamy white head. Aroma brings out lots of noticeable brett funk, lightly tart dry fruits, some mild barnyard notes, and a little citrus. Flavour brings out lots of citrus, subdued brett, and dry wheat. Very dry palate, with the brett not really that pronounced at all - not sure the "wild ale" label fits here, as it's not that different from the regular Devotion. Good stuff.

Pours a glowy golden orange. Quite cloudy. I avoided pouring some chunks into my glass, but there are lots of floaties at the bottom of the bottle. Very large puffy white head. Hard to keep it under control during the pour. The aroma has a big dose of soft funk on top of fresh grain. Very pleasant. It smells like a tropical fruit barnyard. Flowers, leather, mangoes, mushrooms and earth. Wonderful brett notes. Very mild medicinal character. Seemed a bit strong, at first, but it settled into the rest of the beer after a minute. The taste starts with fruity grain sweetness before drying out with funk and adding a touch of lemony tartness. Lots of funky, fruity brett flavor. Mushrooms, lemons, barnyard. I try not to avoid esoteric notes, but it sorta tastes like unripe kiwi. Finishes quite dry with medium to mild bitterness. Grassy hops. Effervescent mouthfeel at first. Definitely reminds me of other brett beers. Personally, I prefer it with a bit less gas, and the carbonation fades quite quickly. Pretty smooth feel after a minute, actually. Otherwise, it’s light but full on the palate. Very well suited to the beer and style. No booze. Exceptionally easy to drink. Wonderful balance. This is the sort of beer that I would drink be happy to drink regularly. Surprisingly good price, too, particularly compared to most recent TLA bottles. Anyway, I’m quite impressed by this one. Great beer.

375 c&c from Bine and Vine. Pours very hazy orange amber with a five finger off-white head. Aroma is very smooth and mellow, yet sharpish, brett. Med body. Flavor is Belgian yeast/ester with earthy brett. Extremely tasty.
