Bottle from Joe's Wine and Liquor, Memphis. Aroma is Bretty funk with a huge red wine influence, red grapes, various red and dark fruits, oak, barnyard, vinous, some blackberry. Flavour is tart and light sourish with quite some sweet tones. Body is medium. Heavy red wine barrel and funk, sweeter than expected.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up at the Bottle Shop IIRC (RIP). Pours clear orange-gold with a modest, foamy white head. Nicely rounded, some dry, bread crust, mellow yeast expression, some citrus rind bitterness, grass, faint alcohol, cracked wheat, straw. Light to medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Subtly warming finish, dry, more dried bread crust. Enjoyable stuff.

Corked bottle. To celebrate 13000 ratings, 333 place ratings and 100 country ticks. Pinkish golden color. raspberry and vinous notes in the aroma with honey and lemon. Bretty soft bitter, oaky vinous flavor. Dry. Oaky with hints of raspberry. Citrus and sourness. Complex enough, but remains shy.

Bottle. Color: Slightly hazy golden, white head. Aroma: Yeast, funk, light red fruit. Taste: Combination of lightly sour, light to moderate bitter and moderate sweet notes, each one fighting for domination but the sweet flavours win, most probably because of the red wine influences. Fruityness of blackberries and sweetish red grapes. Brett yeast, funk, hints of wood. Fruity bitterness, funk and very lightly booze hints at finish. Medium to just over medium body, just below average carbonation. Nice one.

Misty golden. Funky aroma, lambicish. Surprisingly soft, sweetish taste. mild, full, light blackberry. Genuinely tasty. The motherfucking app ate my fucking review again so it's in its abbreviated form.

Bottle split at Chris & Ruth's pre GBBF Shin Dig, cheers for all the shares, 05/08/17. Hazed yellow with a decent off white head. Nose is tangy citric shreds, light oak, red berry notes, modest brett. Taste comprises damp straw, funk, red grape must, red berry tang, grains. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok ... expected more.

37.5cl bottle from Être Gourmet. Smooth fruity nose. The beer starts very soft and round. Not too deep with quite watery hints. The fruit is there, round and fresh. Nice funk and horse blanket, round and mild. The taste is full and fruity but the body is a bit weak - especially for this ABV. Tart sour bitter in the end, the wood is there, dry earthy blackberries, hints of alcohol in the back. Nice brew, but not as full-bodied or rich as the Belgium ones.
