Poured from a bottle. Aroma is slightly acidic with a light citrus note and some tropical and cherry pie Brett notes. Medium low phenolic notes with hints of caramel malt and toasted bread. Aroma is pretty well balanced but it gets a bit vegetal as it warms. Some fruit esters also appear as it warms including banana and red apple. Pours a hazy amber color with a large, fairly thick white head that quickly recedes to a medium sized head then slowly recedes. Moderately high lacing and smallish legs. Flavor is slightly acidic with some citrus notes. Moderate fruit esters of rotting stone fruit, apples and pears. Some light cherry pie Brett notes. Medium light bitterness with some mineral notes from the water. Some medium light phenolic notes that don’t exactly scream out fennel and coriander, but they are there. A light vegetable note and a bit of sweetness in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringnecy and low alcohol warmth. Overall, an alright beer and better in the aroma. The fruit notes and phenolics in the flavor are a bit flabby but they are fresher in the aroma. Not a bad beer, but not great either.
