100% BRETT FERMENTED.
Technically, this is neither an ale nor a lager. The base recipe is for a Golden Ale, but we do the primary fermentation with 100% brettanomyces. The brett gives it some sour notes but not as much as if it had been aged with lacto and pedio. It’s rather refreshing on a warm day!

Bottle. Hazy orange liquid with small to medium white head. Aroma of lemon, grain, bread, mineral, red apple and funk. Taste is dry and light to medium sour with notes of lemon, apple skin, mineral and light grain. Medium bodied with medium to high carbonation. Nice.

Bottle shared by ippopotamo36 @King Arthur (Rome), thanks Alberto! Pours golden with a medium to little white head. Aroma of yellow fruits, apple, apricot, lots of esters, vinous. Flavour is light acidic, delicate fruity sourness, easy to drink but quite complex. Medium body, medium to light carbonation. Amazing beer!

On tap at Russian River Brewing in Santa Rosa, CA-USA. Cloudy yellow color, white foamy head. Nose: brett, lemon, lime cake. Fantastic complexity. Mouth: zest, watery soul, citric finish with a mild Brett redundancy. Fantastic! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle from De Laurenti, Seattle, 12.99$
Blond-golden color, clean, with small head. Very nice aroma, very close to a Lambic, less strong; funky yeast, moldy cellar walls. Dry and smooth mouthfeel; again a lot of yeast character, bitter grapefruit, and some astringency in the final; more fruity than most Gueuze, a bit like a young unblended Lambic.
Excellent beer. Still, in Belgium they can brew beer with more depth at a fraction of the price, hence I give one point less.

Flavour is complex tangy citrus and lemon, bretty funk, hint of pineapple. Tangy citrus, hint of sharp lemon rind. Palate is light and frothy, moderate carbonation, spicy dry finish.

Pours light pale yellow, cloudy, thin film of foam. Aroma is yeasty, feels saisony but also soft and fruity-creamy. Taste is sour with barnyard and berries. Bit of bitterness and that is left also later and keeps lingering. Dry and tingling the roof of my mouth. Combined with fruitiness and subtle sour, this one is really multy-layered and actually keeps growing on me. Solid.

Bottle shared at a tasting. Thanks Jon! Pours a straw yellow with some haziness and a one-finger white head. Brett forward barnyard nose with pears and light green grapes. Citrus and lemon zest notes along with some light green pineapple notes and bread. Short-lived finish but still solid.
