Aromas of citrus, pineapple, and passion fruit meld into tropical flavors that pair nicely with the beer’s lightly hopped body. Maris Otter, Munich malts, and raw wheat balance the floral barrage of Bravo, Cascade, Amarillo, Centennial, Citra, and Galaxy hops. By finishing with a mix of pleasant bitterness and tropical fruit, Brett IPA ushers brewing history into the present.

Batch 1 bottles drunk 8/18/17 and 12/1/17.
Light-to-minimal haze and a very juju candy-lemon-yellow golden with a creamy, white head of moderately-strong retention.
Lovely Brett in the nose has light perfume to it but is quite tropical fruit-forward, with just a pinch of sulfur and band-aid thrown in for good measure. Soft biscuit and honey from the malt balances easily and the hops are quite seamlessly mixed in, bolstering the tropical fruit salad. Good amount of juiciness and no twang or resin, alcohol or pine.
In the mouth it's dry and malty with soft, chewy-like wheat textures and tight carbonation. Juicy hops and Brett work perfectly together with no twang or overworked perfume and bready character. No resin, little pine either and it's just a fantastic tart, juicy, well-balanced "IPA" that is much more like a light sour.

From a 12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear pale greenish gold with a thick white head. Aroma is heavy tropical fruit. Some brett tartness in the flavor alongside floral saison-like flavors. A refreshing alternative to the murky, fruiity New England IPA’s.

Bottle from the Davis Co-Op. Pours hazy gold with a slight, transient white head. Aroma is Brett and Tropics. Very nice. Med body. Flavor is Brett, citrus, tropicals. Quite dry. Moderately bitter, but Brett makes up for that. Going excellently with white cheese.

Super hazy golden coloured body with a very thin pure white head, not more than a centimetre tall. Aroma of flowers, funk, grass, coriander seed, wheat and a bunch of wild brett notes - no sourness at all though. Light to Medium-bodied; Assertive dry qualities at first with a lot of coriander seed freshness and a touch of citrus, but the dryness from hay and grass along with some perfumey hop notes make this nice and flavourful. Aftertaste shows a nice dry bite with a heavy balance on the yeast funkiness and a larger dose of coriander seed and wheat than before, but in a good way. Overall, a nice and dry beer that definitely shows more of a Saison or Biere de Garde more than anything, especially an IPA, but a tiny bit as a Wild Ale as well, so this is nice and complex, but is far from an amazing beer or one that should be sampled at all costs. Nice to try, and as one of the super early adopters of Allagash products, this is a good offering for sure, but please don't go crazy trying to acquire this one - just try something similar from any local (to you) brewery. I sampled this stubby twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in Fairfax, Virginia on 10-September-2017 for US$4,99 (I wouldn't pay that again) with a 'bottled on' date of 06-July-2017 at 12h35, sampled at home in Washington on 09-November-2017 a week after my first son was born!
