750mL bottled May 2017, drunk 1/19/18.
Lightly-to-minimally hazy, blonde-golden-brass. Very large, frothy, white head atop shows strong retention. Tons of carbonation.
Interesting mix of tropical fruit and light melon with strong lemon-lime-like Brett mixing well with it. Guava, nectarine and mango all show off a slow, cooler Brett fermentation. Light honey and biscuit behind it balance gently and there is no flaw or alcohol.
In the mouth it's highly carbonated, with a soft, honey-rich, well-attenuated malt character and tons of light grain and cereal notes interjecting. Lime-rich Brett, light guava and strong melon all comprise the yeast profile and there's a good deal of tartness without it being dominant. At six months old, the hops have mostly faded, but they certainly show through and really complement the Brett. Tons of lemon character on the end with gentle bitterness and mild pepper phenol. No alcohol or flaw.
