Bottle thanks to bauermj - shared among friends. Pours crystal clear orange, small off-white head, fizzy and quick to dissipate with minimal lacing. Aroma is super funk, lots of great Brett stufff going on, oak tannins as well. Flavor is very light sweet drying out quickly, medium funk, really juicy - it really does tasted like apricots or peaches were added to this. Tons of oak tannins, which lead to light tartness. Lightish body. Really enjoyable.

Bottle thanks to Russell. Pours a cloudy orange with small frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is strong funk, fruit, oak, brett. Medium mouthfeel with light funk, light tart, oak, brett. Very good.

750 thanks to Dan! An unusual rating, the beer was totally frozen, but has thawed out quite well. Showing no major defects. Pours a cloudy copper color with a medium white head. The aroma is awesome: pure barnyard funk, lemon and dust- majestic Brett. The flavor also is dominated by ’wild’ yeast strains, clear lemon zest, deep dusty Brett. Very drinkable. Awesome.

This was very good! Golden and clear. Nose was sweet with horsey leather. Taste was a big floral carbonation explosion with just enough apple tartness to leave you wanting more.
