22 oz bottle shared by beastiefan2k. Pour is a light yellow white with a foamy white head. Aroma is light citrus, some earthy leathery Brett. Taste is a smooth wheat grain, Brett spice lemon citrus along with mild floral spice. Taste is really well integrated. Palate is light to medium, really active carbonation, dry clean finish. Nice, thanks Eugene.

Bottle. pale golden beer with a whitish head. Tart, light yeast and light malt aroma. Wheat and spice flavor with yeast and a light tartness. Medium bodied. Yeast, spice, wheat, and a light tartness linger.

Bottle via a trade with americanbrew. Pours with a huge white head over a milky yellow body. Aroma of light brett phenols, horse blanket, orange and lemon citrus. Flowery and perfumey. Taste is dry and flowery with orange peel, light brett and citrus. I could drink a TON of this stuff! Not quite a Boulevard Saison Brett or Jolly Pumpkin’s Wit, but it is still very nice. Fizzy and dry mouthfeel.

Thanks to AmEricanbrew for this one - it’s official - brett CAN’T make everything better - don’t get me wrong, this beer isn’t bad - it’s just a kind of boring wit, and the brett doesn’t really do anything to change this fact - hazy gold - fizzy body - herbal aroma, lightly peppery, mild phenols, young brett acidity/funk - semi-dry up front, with honey sweetness to end, and some light lemon and apple through the middle - subtle brett character throughout doesn’t really meld well with the rest of the beer - it’s alright.
