Bottle: Poured a slightly hazy bright blonde color ale with a large pure white foamy head with great retention and some excellent lacing. Aroma of Dry funky Brett notes with some dry floral hoppy notes is quite enticing. Taste is a nice mix of fresh cereal notes with some nice dry floral hoppy notes with a funky Brett finish with light fruity notes. Body is about average with excellent carbonation. Great mix of complexity while retaining some excellent drinkability.

Bottle sample @ LIBF’17, thanks to the RB-InBev Belgian crew for the share. Dorée, paille, col fin blanc. Arôme au nez bien fleuri, herbacé avec petites effluves de funk en rétro. Citrique également, avec un relent de douceur. Palais est finement axé sur le funk, petite note tropicale avec encore un effet organique et fini légèrement sec, par contre là, je trouve un caractère léger sur le fumé.

Hazy pale blond appearance. Aroma and flavour are funky , sharp and lemony. Certainly a wild one.
