2017 bottle - recommended to use within 3 years (which was 4 years ago)... so let's see how this goes... Pours hazy gold into a tulip. Bright white head with good retention recedes to coat surface. Brett and pit fruit aromas. Crisp with tart apricot and peach upfront turning to a mild, earthy lactic brett and grapefruit pith finish. Not bad... but cardboard enters as it warms docking a couple of points...

Bottle. Hazy orange-gold, white head. Funk, brett, floral notes. Finish is dry. Interesting stuff.

375mL bottled July 2017, drunk 4/10/18.
Gushing, copper-golden, with the heavy carbonation stirring up sediment and creating a strong haze. Huge, brett-induced white head with strong retention.
Grainy, bready, floral Brett and heavily attenuated malts come together. Strong tropical fruits are heavily peachy with tangy pineapple and papaya coming off a bit overdone, showing rather overworked Brett. Very perfume-heavy, bordering sharply estery at points. Obviously some hop in there, but old at this point.
In the mouth it's spicy with heavy floral notes, strong nectarine skin-like character and massively expansive carbonation even after giving it time to breath. Just too much overworked Brett, coming off sharp, perfumey, oily and bready with way too much lemon balm and tangy pineapple-papaya. Astringent, even. Everything I dislike about these hoppy Brett beers. Softens, somewhat, over much time but by then it becomes too punchy-sweet and heavily bready with light caramel. Still not particularly drinkable or interesting.
