GABF 2013. Pours an amber orange appearance with a thin cream colored head. Tangy fruity, bretty, barnyard, tangerine/pineapple aroma. Really easy drinking and refreshing flavor with notes of peaches, flowers, earth, and a touch of vinegar. Carbonation seemed fine in the mouth.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy opaque dark orange with a large foamy white head. Aroma brings out mostly brett upfront, a little hay, and some hops. Flavour brings out lots of beautiful brett, some floral hops, and moderate funk. Highly drinkable, with a very pungent freshness as well as brett spike. Leaves moderately funky and fresh floral notes. Great funky pale.

Capped 750 from Made in Oregon. Pours hazy orange with a creamy off-white head. Nice fresh brett odor. (brett? fresh? well, yeah) With fruit. Med body or better. Flavor seems to be brett, light pitted fruit, spicy. It’s earthy. Extremely tasty.

Bottle at the brewery, kindly split by the guy serving to a couple of out of towners from the East coast and myself - 26/05/13. Lightly hazed golden with a thin white head. Nose is bretts, soured fruits, funk, tarte gooseberries, barnyard. Taste comprises light brett - but always in the shadows, grass, lemon rind, tarte berry fruits. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, crisp clean finish - pitched to perfection and making this sour super drinkable. Great tackle! Lots of complexity and depth for 5.7%, well executed.

Hazy copper and orange coloured body with a thick, three centimetre tall just off-white head. Aroma of pale malt, wheat, yeast, brett, sour grapes and a hint of coriander seed and some light spices. Medium-bodied; Assertive hop note up front with a lot of pungent yeast and a little sourness on the end, but not much. Aftertaste doesn’t show as much complexity as I’d like to see, but some nice barnyardie flavours, a hint of herbaceousness and a little yeastie funk, but nothing over-the-top. Overall, a good and decent beer, but not up to the standards of others. Definitely worth trying if you can get it, but if you have room in your luggage for one 75 cL bottle, don’t buy this one. I sampled this 75 cL bottle purchased from Made in Oregon in Portland International Airport [Terminal D] on 28-April-2013 for US$10.95 sampled at home in Washington on 04-May-2013.

Sampled at GABF. Pours a hazy orange with some eggshell head. Nose of mustard seeds, bitter greens, vinegar. Flavor is a little sweeter than the nose lets on, earthy, collard greens, light vinegar, lemon. Lightly watery finish. Good nose but the flavor is a let down.

750 ml bottle. Pours a murky copper color with large retentive head. Light citrus and malt aromas with a touch of horse/rubber/brett. Definite barnyard/brett flavor up front with nice IPA notes following. Interesting.
