750 ml bottle purchased at Lukas Liquors in Kansas City, Missouri. Bot on 11/17/15 printed on the bar code label. The pour is a slightly hazed orange golden with a well formed one inch off white head. Head falls slowly with nice lacing. The aroma is leather, funk, along with a bit of floral, though the aroma is mostly about the Brett. Very much an Orval nose. The taste is the dry leather funk of the Brett, along with a nice base of floral citrus hops. The flavors meld and integrate nicely. The palate is medium bodied, with soft natural carbonation and the dry Brett finish. Well executed, tasty beer. Wish I would have had this earlier as well to see the stronger IPA expression and compare the two.
