A golden ale with a thin creamy lacing white head. In aroma, nice crisp biscuit malt with loads of Brett notes, light grassy hops, very nice. In mouth, a crisp biscuit malt with smooth Brett, light mineral notes, grassy hops, very nice. Bottle at Spinrsx tasting.

500 ml bottle shared by AdamC, much thanks! Nice clear golden Amber golden with last retention in the snifter, fine carbonation level. Aroma displays mild Brett, dusty basement notes, grassy hops.
The texture is oily with a very slick mouthfeel. It’s starts nice with a Brett and malt and then transitions into a sweet sugary finish. Yet, a pretty good grassy bitterness that lingers. The sugar and bitterness kind of conflict with each other. Overall this is kind of odd.

Dark gold, 1 finger head that’s slightly yellowish. Smells like fresh cut grass. Very funky, brett forward, oak, lemon, no cheese really. smells like fresh salad. Up front, pretty darn good. Then some sweet strange old fruit taste comes in and lingers. Cheap candies and other weirdness. Shame. but it is a pretty bottle.
