Draught at the BA Belgian Fest on 9/17/16.
Lightly hazy, marmalade-golden body is topped by a small, white head showing moderate retention.
Brett is poignantly bright in the nose, with lime, lemon, moderate floral/perfume-like notes and a substantial malt base behind it with lots of grain and cracker. Good fruitiness, though it’s not intensely estery/overdone with brett gone wild. Very sniffable and maybe on the simple side, but you certainly can’t argue with the pleasant simplicity of brett done well.
In the mouth, it shows a substantial, yet dry body, with biscuit and wheat-like notes backing lime and guava-like brett. Lightly fruity and gently tart, with a light graininess on the end and hints of honeysuckle. Fairly tight, somewhat expansive carbonation softens as it breathes. No alcohol or flaw. Simple, flavorful, elegant.
