Bottle at Craft Beer Co, thanks to Mike. It pours deep golden yellow, with a medium white head. The nose is sulphurous, manure, poop, sweet undertones and dough. The taste is lightly tart, barnyard, spice, metallic, dark brown bread, underlying sweetness, toast, creaminess and ripe feta cheese. Medium body, fine, prickly carbonation and velvety mouth-feel. Interesting.....but doesn’t smell particularly nice!

Bottle shared at the Craft Beer Co., Clerkenwell, London - many thanks to Mike for this one. Pours lightly hazy, bright gold with a big, white froth head. Well and funky on the nose, some horseblanket, doughy malts. Light sweet flavor with big brett funk, some sweat, faint dry dirt. Light to medium bodied with average, creamy carbonation. Moderately sweet to finish, great sweaty funk, light dryness. Very solid and highly drinkable. Well done.

Pours hazy deep gold into a Sam glass. White head with excellent retention recedes leaving sheet lacing. Brett and rye aromas. Dry with sweet nuts and caramel upfront turning slightly spicy before the lasting mild brett and bitter earth finish.

A hazed amber ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, light sweet malt with Brett and sulfury notes, light funk. In mouth, a smooth sweet malt with nice Brett notes, corkyneess, herbal, nice and balanced. Tasted at Drink Craft Beer Summerfest Fest, July 14 2012.
