Bottle thanks to Aaron at the RBWG 2014 grand tasting, thanks! Pours a hazy gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a nice sour fruit note with a bit of lemon and underlying light grain and funk. Flavor has a real nice sour fruit tartness with grain and light funk backing.

Bottle at RBWG Asheville Grand Tasting. Thanks catman! Pours cloudy pale yellow with a frothy white head. Mild herbals in the nose, tangy lemons, mellow funk. Light sweet flavor with citric lemon bite, dry hay, herbs. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Pretty dry on the finish with more herbs, basil, tart lemons. Good one.

Pours a bright medium yellow gold. Surprisingly, it’s quite clear. The head is medium-sized and white, dissipates pretty quickly leaving little to no lacing. Lots of Indian spice. Good dose of turmeric, coriander and other spices that I mostly associate with curry. There’s also some lime and tropical fruit in the mix. Less funk than red but more depth overall. The taste has more of the citrus and pineapple but there’s still a spice edge. Turmeric pineapple finish. Medium to light tartness. Light on the palate with fizzy carbonation. Interesting beer. Lots more citrus than expected. I wonder if they threw in some kaffir lime leaves or something.

Notes from last night. Aroma is dominated by the spices with lots of turmeric and other spices. Hints of honey but no malt, yeast or hops in the sons. Not very fruity but more citrus as it warms. Ours a surprisingly clear golden yellow with a large pillowy white head. Head is fairly this and recedes somewhat quickly to the edge. Very little lacing. Flavor is slightly sweet upfront. Spice notes are more moderate in the flavor and the fruit is more apparent. Surprisingly large amount of like virus in the flavor. Finish has some light Brett funk to it. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency with low alcohol warmth. Overall a much more enjoyable beer than WWBR, but where WWBR was all Brett and nothing else this beer is mostly the spices with very little Brett character. The spices dominate but they work well together and make for a very refreshing beer.
