750 ml bottle purchased at Joy in Denver, Colorado. Batch 1-11/11. Bottle #465/838. The pour is a very cloudy yellow golden, with a two inch white head that is foamy, and falls slow with larger bubbles. The aroma is leathery dry, citrus hops, and sweet grain malt. The taste is pear fruit, an interesting honey melon sweetness, dry Brett, and a light spiciness from the yeast in the finish. The palate is medium bodied, light prickly carbonation, and a dry finish. I liked this quite a bit.

Bottle thanks to Dallas. Pours a murky golden color with a large white head. The aroma is fruity hops, some biscuit and funk. A rich fresh and flavorful Belgian Ale with huge Pale Ale intent: sweet citrus, big hops throughout, low bitterness, yeast, banana. Good. Very clean and smooth.

Bottle 723/838 from batch 1 11/11 thanks to Ratman! Pours with a massive (glass filling) white head with thick bubbles. Retentive and leaves great lace. Hazed golden hue (deep gold) body underneath. Aromas are very flora, citrusy, lightly herbaceous hops, medium funk, lots of esters. Nearly a Brett C tropical/pineapple character. Mild earthy and peppery phenolics. Mildly bready and biscuity malt rounds it out. A touch grassy. Very nice. Flavors are a bit more malt forward at first. Bready, biscuity, soft. Mild grassy and hoppy character. Herbal as well with subdued funky phenolics. Medium esters of belgian yeast and fruit character I normally associate with Brett A or C. Some stone fruit. A touch more rustic, earthy, straw qualities as it warms. Very lively carbonation. Dry, soft (very soft overall character), and mild bitterness. Good, tasty, solid!

Bottle @ home. I added this as a Belgian ale but I guess it could be entered as a golden ale. Cloudy, yellow orange appearance with a fluffy white head with very small bubbles. Fairly earthy hoppy, light citrus, herbal, lightly floral aroma with a mild sweet, pale maltiness. Soft mouth feel. Really an herbal, green tea, mildly floral, earthy hoppy, a bit bready yeasty, moderate pale malty flavor with some light fruit esters. Pretty easy drinking- I finished the 750 in no time. Not nearly as complex as some of Chad’s brews but I don’t think he was going for anything too complex.
