Notes from September 2012 Four pack from Whole Foods. Heard good things. At around $12 for a 4-pack, I hope this slows down the flow of Joe Schmo breweries charging a premium for brett renditions of their staple beers. Probably won't. Tickers gotta tick... :/ An unsteady pour results in a murky honey orange body. Being my ignorant self, my Duvel tulip soon becomes overwhelmed with cakey off-white head. A small stack of soggy utility bills & some desk reorganizing later, I realize I should of skimmed reviews for some keywords first at least. Soapy, sharp citrus scent. Hay & just a tiny bit of cheese in the background. Taste upfront is bittersweet, but quickly turns briny. Coarse orange/grapefruit pith. Lingering acidity. Faintly tart. Not sour. Super dry. Moderate, but soft carbonation. Aspirin finish. So thirsty. Me likey. :)

Bottles and draught upon release back in 2011 or so. Mostly clear, bronze-brass-maize. Large, pillowy-white head showing moderately-strong retention. Nose is very well-expressive of a nicely-developed brett conditioning. Comparing it to Helios or something like Stillwater's brett golden, it comes off a little more powerful, with strawberry, spice and maybe a hint of herbaceous wood. Malts are deeper and more sumptuous adding rich honey and dough. Clean, no alcohol noted. Soft and malty, good attenuation though still plentiful honey-like character to balance the rich cherry-strawberry-lime of the Brett. Lower Sacch. character than some of the others here, with ample woody bitterness lingering.
