Draught at Monk's: pours yellow with white head. Aroma is lightly bretty, musty, somewhat citric. Taste is very lightly bretted up. It is much more focused on the lager in a lot of ways. Still the funk adds something interesting without overwhelming it.

Draft at the brewery, 8/23/25. Fully bright yellow, with a large and foamy white head. Grainy, lemon-lime, Spice and yeast. Dry and funky. Tons of flavor. Excellent.

Light Bretta. Some grapefruit, orange peel. The kind of crisp kellerbier sense still comes through on this though. Hazy golden pour with great head and lacing. Light tang in a mostly crisp finish. Tap at Churchkey.

Draught at the brewery, 8/20/21.
Lightly hazy, soft-blonde-golden with a medium-sized, fairly dense, white head showing good retention.
Really interesting Brett notes of light tropical fruit and hints of citrus matched against a more earthy character that must be coming from the lager yeast? Maybe earthy isn't the right word as it's not as strong/rich as that sounds. It definitely dulls the Brett somewhat, but also transforms it, while in turn transforming the lager character in to a slightly more fruity version of itself. Big minerality and almost a mustiness of sorts. Clean and free of alcohol with nothing overdone/dominating.
In the mouth it's soft, pillowy almost with layers of honey, rustic grain, gentle lemon-like acidity and hints of tropical fruits alongside musty, cellar-like character. Engaging carbonation and a comforting texture with excellent attenuation and a light, pleasing bitterness on the end. Eminently drinkable and balanced, and the Brett doesn't distract heavily from the force of a refreshing lager (and indeed contributes).
