Witness is a bretted Belgian pale ale drawing inspiration from the Trappist Monasteries. Combining the classic Bastonge yeast (from Orval) and then both Brettanomyces Bruxellensis and Brettanomyces Clausenii to condition this beer will be hoppy and fragrant fresh but will also age gracefully like it's traditional predecessors, building complexity in the bottle.

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is grainy malt, funky Brett, bread, with soft fruity notes including a touch of apple. Flavour is moderate bitter with a dry finish. Body is medium. I expected a bit more depth from this one, but the Bretty funk sure is nice.
