Initially large, white head recedes to cover, atop a bright amber-golden with deeper copper tints. Light to moderate amount of haziness.
Ahhhhh. The sweet, sweet smell of sulfur in the nose. I’m always torn when it comes up, as I absolutely love it in low but noticeable amounts. There’s a lot of old Cantillon gueuzes that have a very similar sulfur character to them and it reminds me of that. Same lemon, lactic and rubbery/leathery brett character with very light woodiness, deep funk and spicy/peppery sulfur. I guess it’s considered a flaw though? I don’t care. The tap water at my mom’s house in Maine is full of sulfur and I hate it. So I’m not sure that you can just say sulfur=always bad, because here I love it. It adds another layer of complexity for me.
Anyways, with that personal rant over regarding my sulfur preference, I found the flavor to be undeniably delightful. No sulfur here and it’s shockingly light, fruity, and moderately citric, with pie crust, biscuit, chewy wheat and soft wood tannin. Vibrant brett tones on the finish deepen the funk, while spicy character emanating from the whiskey are barely noticeable. Carbonation is low and could use a boost of tightness, but the texture is soft and malty-to-tannic despite being nicely attenuated. No alcohol or flaw noted.
