Draught at CBC.
Bright golden body shows light to moderate haze and a small but fairly well-retained white head.
Poignant peachy-pineapple in the nose is dried out by grainy, lightly spicy rye and dry wheat. Brett is not dominant, but shows light band aid and more pineapple and guava. Spicy hops accent the bright finish with no alcohol or flaws.
In the mouth, it’s dry and tart, but not overly dry with no huskiness and lots of guava and hickory nut from the brett. Lemon, orange rind and spicy-to-grassy hops lend themselves on the finish, with perhaps just a touch of soapiness, but otherwise very tart, challenging and crisp on the end. Fun stuff, don’t understand the negative reviews, but man does this stuff have a wide range of scores.

I had a couple of ~2 oz samples at the Boulevardia Taps & Tastes in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is hazed yellow golden with not much of an off white head. The aroma is lightly tart citrus, funk Brett and sweet malt. The taste is the nose, with the funk leather Brett being dominant, with the light lemon citrus and sweet malt in the back. The palate is light to medium bodied, with a dry funk finish. Nice one.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of straw and citrus fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw, lemons, and brettanomyces, leading to a dry finish. Thanks pinball for sharing.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of Pinball. Pours a hazy golden with a lacing white head. Tart, Bretty nose - but also salty and minerally, biscuits and baking yeast. Medium body, a dry fruitiness, very salty with loads of yeast and chemicals. Not so pleasant. 250213
