Draught at CBC Boston, 9/23/17.
Pale, straw-golden body shows good clarity, touch of haze and a small, but fairly well-retained, white head.
Cereal-like grains, peppery, herbal, lightly "bitter" vegetal notes and soft, lime-accented, funky Brett make for quite a lot of things packed in to this little table beer. Not too bready (or Bretty) with no alcohol, American hops, messy ester or other flaw.
Chewy, wheat and rye-heavy texture with engaging carbonation, high attenuation and flavorful Brett acids. Dandelion adds bitterness here, in place of hops, and it works well, if you like that sort of thing. Doesn't remind me of Pissenlit but that's probably a good thing. Lightly citrusy finish with honey-vanilla and cereal-like malt lingering. Nice and flavorful for its size with nothing aggressive/excessive going on.

From a bottle sample at Copenhagen Beer Celebration, Boston, 23 September, 17. Murky golden, foamy head. Aroma is Bretty yeast, light citrus. Flavor is lemongrass, wheat backbone. Mild malt bill with a grassy finish. Lighter in body with a effervescent mouth feel. Pretty respectable overall.
