A 100% Brett Black IPA from the 8 Wired Brewing Co. in New Zealand. A rather uncommon combination of styles - very interesting indeed.

Bottle shared at the CBC big bottle share. 7/7/2016. Many thanks to Daniel for this one. A pitch black brown coloured pour with a thin light tan head. Aroma is big funky plastic hockey puck, piney lemon hop, some alcohol. Flavour is composed of mixed pineapple, toasted pine, plastic, little charred roast, berries. Palate is medium full bodied, little sticky, highish carbonation. Really interesting beer.

Bottle thanks to Dirty D at Craft Islington. It pours black with a thick beige head. The aroma is funky, charred wood, pine needles, varnish, orange peel, sherbet, candied peel and parma violets. The taste is bitter, burnt pine, orange peel, earth, roasted malt, parma violets, charred wood, toast, farmyard and funky brett with a dry finish. Medium body and high carbonation. Rather interesting and fun with a good funky character.

Bottle at RB London Meet. Dark brown color, small brownish head. Aroma has bretta, some darker malt notes. Medium-bodied. Flavor has bretta, toasted malts, some hints of sweetness and then in the aftertaste some citrusy hoppyness. Interesting.

Bottle from Brewery Creek, Vancouver
Blond color, clean, small head. Very nice aroma, elegant Brett, flowery, funky, light manure (8.5). Light body, relatively dry, strong funky character, a bit astringent in the end, perfect bitterness balance, a bit resiny, less fruity.
Very clean, harmonious, yet with strong character. Excellent.

500ml bottle. Pours a clear vlonde with a weak white head. Aroma is funky, bretts, smells exactly like marigold flowers. Taste is exactly the same. Good stuff for brett beers lovers.

500mL bottle, pours black with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out roasted malt, brett and piney hops. Flavour is more pungent, with loads of brett and funk upfront, followed by piney hops. Dry and funky finish. Well-balanced and robust. Excellent.

Draft at Tap Craft Beer Bar, Singapore. Poured almost black with a thin broken white head and a little broken lace. The aroma is bretty yeast, grassy hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a mellow, smooth cheesy yeast, light citrus hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Another winner from 8 Wired.
