Bottle from the lcbo. Pours a hazy yellow, with a huge white head. Big brett Aroma, loads of pineapple and mango on it citrus zest. Mouth feel is very effervescent, with a medium body. Low bitterness, faint yeast, fruity finish with a strong brett character.

Golden with a copper undertone, foamy dense white head that persists as a sheet. Funky socks nose. Solid Brett bite without much funk, over mild straw malts of middling sweetness. Pleasing Brett. Try it.

Wow! This is quite interesting all-around. Nice wine-ish bottle, classy simple label with a great beer inside. Hazy golden colour with a frothy white cap, very good retention and loads of lace. The Brett is there in the aromas, but very well-balanced with the Belgian yeast, golden malts, hints of apples and spices. Some earth, some sourness, some spiciness, some grassiness and some sweetness. Smooth mouthfeel with decent bitterness in the finish all well-blended with the yeast. I really enjoyed this brew as my first from this brewery, and really hope to be able to try more - as available at the LCBO (or will visit soon in this beautiful region).

A golden ale with a thin lacing creamy white head. In aroma, nice fruity biscuit malt with light Brett, light cork, light curacao, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with light orange peel, coriander, light Brett, very nice and complex. On tap at Brother’s Beer Bistro.
