Bottle @ RBESG grand tasting. Batch two and three tasted side by side but I was too lazy to write a decent review about both. Anyway, hazy pale yellow color, small white head. Does not really have a nice arona. Taste fruityness, some weirdness, sourish and dry. Definitely sone difference between batches though.

Batch 3 Aug 2012 Brought back from Maine 750 ml cork and cage. Slight misfiring cork grazed the side of my head before ending up across the room. Pours out half foam atop a cloudy light straw liquid. Lots of lace and mad retention. The aroma is certainly tart and a bit funky. Saison like aroma with lots of spice a bit of tart citrus and tropical fruits with some hops still evident and a vinous character deep underneath. The flavor is more funk than tart with bits of citrus evident as well as some light wine notes. Medium to light body with a huge level of carbonation and a dry crisp funky mouthfeel. Nice beer but not much of an IPA after a years aging. I enjoyed this aside from the cork headache.

Bottle (thanks Finol). Pours a hazy yellow color with a big white head. Another great beer from Anchorage that manages to be hoppy, funky and drinkable at the same time. Notes of white wine, mandarin, brett and wheat.

Smell of coriander, citrus and other fruit. Pale amber colour, extreme white head. Cloudy. The first sip is like a slap in the face. Very bitter, enhanced by stingingly sharp carbon, which is extremely plentiful at that. Aroma of coriander, orange peel, hops, spices. Also spicy hot. Kind of a jack-in-the-box witbier.. or IPA. Or witbier.. Crazy stuff but crazy good, too.

Bottled:
Muddy, pale brown color. Large but weak head. Fruity aroma; pineapple, pine and lots of orange juice. Really bitter flavor of citrus, pine, resin, goose berries and nettles. A flavorful beer that might get a little bit too much in the long run.

75cl bottle split wth Tomaz @ home. Batch#2, bottled April 2012. Dès ouverture, liège qui commence à pousser, impressionnant. Couleur paille/foin, léger trouble sur la fin, col épais blanc laissant qcq marques sporadiques sur le verre. Arôme offre un beau bouquet houblonné, frais alternant des notes d’agrumes. Note en rétro-nasal de poivre mais aussi de ce fruité de kumqat. Galaxy rappelle ici des notes douces de fruits de la passion avec l’ajout du mûrissage en chêne. Palais est herbacé, amertume citronnée assez léger et complété par le brett qui donne une pointe fin d’aigreur. La Chardonnay est subtile tirant sur le vin blanc. Beau mélange entre le côté vin, fruité tropical et amertume et l’épice; coriandre. Malgré le prix, une belle expérience.

This beer pours a hazy straw color with a medium thick and fluffy white head that dissipates slowly. Sheets of lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, brett and yeast. Medium body and mildly funky with flavors of earthy yeast, citrusy hops and oak. Slight malt in the background. The finish is mildly tart with a funky fruit and hops aftertaste. Enjoyable beer all around.

Caged and corked 750mL bottle pours with a pale yet bright gold body with faint haze supporting a tall densely cobwebed white head of foam. The aroma offers up lime, tangerine, grapefruit and a sour lime sort of wild yeastiness. The taste has a very effervescent quality and it is so much so it is tough to sink you teeth into the experience. I’m getting fruity and tart grapefruit notes that are sliding into lime like citrus and some citrusy tartness. Pretty nice but the huge carbonation takes detracts from the experience.
