500ml bottle, Batch 006 BB 27/02/22. Poured a hazy golden colour with a short-lived big frothy white head and lots of up front bubbles. The aroma is big Bretty yeast, malt, lemon lime citrus. The flavour is moderate sour, light bitter, with a fresh, crisp, fresh, juicy citrus, Bretty yeast, mineral, light dry hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with over moderate carbonation.

Many thanks for this Brett IPA to Theydon_Bois. (Hi was my EuroSanta in January this year). Vintage 2018. Spora piana, trwala, puszysta, spora metnosc, barwa pomaranczowo-piaskowa. W aromacie troche cytrusoww, gruszki, bialych winogron i agrestu. W smaku spora slodowoasc chmielne wykonczenie, wytrawne i pijalne, lekko dzikie, szkoda ze w dzikosc nie poszlo bardziej, no ale to nie gueuze w koncu. Dobre zwienczenie do objedniego mintaja z sosem smietanowym.

Bottle. Blonde. Citrus, grass, soft vinous notes and hints of brett in the aroma. Citrus, gooseberries, pineapple and soft bretty notes in the vinous flavor. The hops have largely been replaced by a moderate fruity and lots of funk and complexity. I like it!

BrewDog has been playing with sour and wild ales in this distinct OverWorks project for several years now, and this Funk X Punk is apparently one of the core beers in that range, basically their classic Punk IPA inoculated with wild yeast and aged on red wine barrels for a month. From a 50 cl bottle with crown cap bought at Geers. Initially very thick, foamy, egg-white, loudly crackling, plaster-like lacing head, slowly thinning and dissolving over a misty apricot blonde beer with deep golden hue and khaki-like edges. Aroma initially dominated by sharp carbon dioxide but once this fades, pointing at moldy lemons and old oranges, 'natural' white wine, damp hay, strong 'Bretty' horseblanket, overripe pear, margarine, white bread pulp, hints of milk gone sour and manure when warming up, white grapes, hints of 'rotting' rhubarb, withering basil leaves, field flowers, banana, dill, tulips, lychee. Estery onset, lots of fruitiness from the Brett including banana, peach and kiwi, sweetish with a 'dim' sourish edge but no acidity as such, medium carbonated, bit creamy, slick body. White bread pulp-like maltiness with ongoing fruity esters on top, leading to a very Bretty finish with strong 'horseblanket', stale urine and fermenting hay aromas retronasally, paired with a distorted image of citric hops, now reminiscent of moldy grapefruit peel, as well as a green, kitchen herb-like aspect, still executing drying bitterness that goes well with the drying, powdery effects of the wild yeast and a slight tannic edge from the barrels (though very subtly so). Minerally notes linger, as well as a lot of fruitiness, not just from esters but also this typical soft, sweetish 'grapeyness' you often get from wine barrel aged beers that are not bacterially infected. Old dry grapefruit peel bitterness gently ripples on in the end, with those fruity aspects on top, while the Brett reverberates. Feels a bit lazy and 'hastily made', to be honest; it could have had more depth of flavour if the Brettanomyces would have felt more 'natural' and if both it and the barrel aging would have been given more time. That said, a very enjoyable 'wild IPA' with certain (old) Orval-esque features, and an easy one to drink if you're into Brett beers. I do wonder, however, what this would have turned out like if it had been made by BrewDog ten or fifteen years ago, before they became the 'commercial craft beer giant' they have become in the meanwhile...

Battle at home. Hazy orange golden with fluffy almost white head. Indeed pretty Bretty, soft orange and pineapple, lychee, sweet malts, caramel soft dry red wine, light earthy funk, alcohol, dry yeast. Medium sweet and bitter. Solid medium bodied. Pretty decent.

Appearance is amber, with a small fizzy head. Aroma- ammonia, barnyard, hoppy fruit, orange hints, funk. Taste- orangey hops, citrus fruit, undertones of cardboard malt, funky lambic background.

500ml bottle. Tart fruity with some bretta notes, cheese, pine, citrus and funky yeastiness, hints of vinous notes and oak. Okay, quite easy going bretta beer.
