From a bottle labeled Anniversary 19. Poured a cloudy gold with a massive head. Aromas were of Belgian yeast, oak and wine barrels. Flavors are earth and vinous. Dry champagne quality. Nice.

Pours clear gold into a tulip. White head with excellent retention top hats and craters leaving soapy lacing. Cork and aroma of Chardonnay, Brett and citrus. Full and crisp with sweet marshmallow, hot caramel and horsey Brett upfront turning to bitter earth in the lasting finish. Like a less subtle Flemish Primitive.

750 ml bottle from Wegmans, Ithaca. Pours a mostly clear lighter golden-orange color with a fairly fizzy white head and some sticky lace. Aroma is musky and a little funky, some grass, wheat, oak, and earth. Flavor leans toward the biter and funky. Drinks with entirely too much carbonation and a fairly dry, tingly close. The two things that stand out are the funk and the super high carbonation. I like the funk.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a murky golden peach color with a huge foamy yellow-white head that lingered forever and left good lacing. The aroma was tart, dryish, perfumey and bretty. The flavor was tart, musty, bretty and had notes of perfume and chalk. Long brett and perfume finish. Medium body. Decent.
