Bottle: Poured a coppery to hazy yellow with a two finger frothy foam head. Aroma is pungent fruit and brett funk. Taste is a metallic hop with some soft malts and yet has that bitter dry brett finish.

Drank this out of a huge 1.5L bottle at DLD. Wow, whoever brought this, awesome! I’m guessing it was Sean9689, since I was standing right next to Thorpe429 when this was opened. Poured with a slight haze, and a small slightly white/off-white color. Aroma was sour notes, a touch of fruit, really digging the tart notes. A bit flat on the flavor though, perhaps low carbonation (to me), the funk notes are still enjoyable.

22 oz bottle shared by beastiefan2k. Pour is a hazed orange yellow with a white head. Aroma is dusty earth, along with some lemon citrus. Taste is the Brett, nicely developed up front, then comes some grassy citrus - lime fruit. Palate is medium to thin, nice active carbonation and a dry finish. Thanks for sharing Eugene, another fun one.

Bottle at the Funky 6. Pours clear gold with a medium, fluffy white head. Holds a fairly funky aroma with white grapes, leather and some spices. Sweet, with citrus fruits, Belgian candi and earthy bitterness. Finishes sweet and lightly funky. Pretty nice.

Bottle thanks to ditmier for sharing. Pours out a cloudy deep straw topped with a small white head. Aroma is of Brett, spice, citrus, oak, straw, and fruit. Taste is lemon, straw, sweet fruits, and a little tartness. A fun brew to try.

Bottle. Amber beer with a white head. Tart, lemon, and green apple aroma. Green apple and tart flavor with malt and a light earthiness. Medium bodied. Green apple and lemon tartness lingers with light malt.

Sample at O-town throwdown ’09 Pours hazy golden, thin white head. Taste has ample fruits (fresh apples) and brett. Not really along the lines of what I expected for the style but another fine brew by Midnight Sun.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a foamy white head over a hazy yellow body. Head leaves good lace. Aroma is fruit, light spice, earthiness, baby diaper and light plastic. Taste is earthy and slightly tart with notes of citrus. Fizzy and a bit on the dry side. Good Belgian!

Thanks to goldtwins for sharing - pours a lightly hazy gold, with a faint soapy lace - spicy, peppery, dusty, minty, grainy aroma - a tiny bit of brett in the nose as well - semi-sweet flavor, very faint acidity - mostly grain, cobweb, and peppery hop flavors, with very young brett character - lean but sweet malts - light and quaffable for the abv - the brett needs more time to develop so it can dry out more, because for now even the relatively mild sweetness is distracting - some phenols on the tail end - tasty, but it has potential to be great - oh, and this is not a sour ale, it is a belgian ale or belgian strong ale.
