Wild yeasts may be historically important to brewing, but they’re also very hard to tame. Fortunately, pFriem loves a challenge. Our Bretta is fully domesticated with amazing aromas like pineapple, peach, flavors of orange zest and fennel and a tangy finish that will have you surrendering to another one in no time.

On tap at Beer Baron Pleasanton. It pours a hazy pale yellow color with a white head. The aroma is flowery with a little lemon and hints of hay-like funk and alcohol. The flavor has some lemon, hay and chardonnay. A bit under carbonated, and so it suffers from a lackluster mouth feel as a result. Lots of herbals and flowers in the finish. Ok.

2016-04-11, draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver, 7-3-7-3-13=34
Cloudy pale blond color with generous head. The aroma is very funky, deep, nice. The flavor, spicy and funky, comes through with vegetable notes too, a bit too bitter in the final.
In conclusion, it has a lot of character, but it’s quite chaotic.

Cloudy blond color. Nice harmonious aroma of funky yeast, a bit fruity, wood sap, fresh almond. Smooth, funky flavor, a bit woody, lightly sweet.
Delicious.

Sample during the "Hoppin’ On Deck" tasting on 05/27/2016. Cloudy straw color with a medium thick white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of tropical fruit, funky yeast and malt. Medium body with flavors of brett yeast, funky fruit and biscuit malt. The finish is funky and fruity with an herbal yeast aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Very pale and hazy, big brett aroma. Nice light brett taste. Pale malts, light, mellow bitterness and hop character. Very quaffable.

Draft - Light funk, citrus and some stone fruit. Cloudy yellow with a small white head. Much as it smells. Very light and refreshing. Nice.

Bottle, corked and baled. Pours a cloudy pale yellow with an active fizz head. Aroma is soft lemon, brett, and fruit juice. Flavor is soft lemon, slightly tart, Brett funk, and a cool minty finish. Unique for sure, and damn good overall. Very nice.

375mL bottle, pours a hazy blonde with a medium white head. Aroma brings out tart farmhouse notes and light funk. Flavour is along the same lines, with crisp farmhouse yeast and lots of funk. Subtle tartness that accentuates this well. Tart, crisp finish. Very solid.

375mL cork and cage bottle poured into Blvd tulip. Bottled on 1/14/16. Very pale color, clear and voluminous, holey head that slowly fade. After just rating the Brett Pale Ale I was wondering what in the heck this bretty pale ale was going to be all about. Well, its turning out to be very different. A "smaller" "lighter" or basically lower finishing gravity beer. Much less sweetness compared to the Brett Pale Ale, no dough, and much more neutral malt character. The aroma has the strongest brett character, not as strong as the Brett Pale. A cleaner light herbal funk. Flavor is mostly just a clean malt beer with a little but of the brett character at the end. Get that bitter flower petal herbal finish. Lighter bodied beer. Becomes more murky and yeast full as I pour more out.
