Tap (Mikkeller &Friends, Copenhagen). Hazy golden colour, white-grey head, small lacing. Bret notes rules in aroma, there are intense, really aggressive, it "smells" like after horseriding. Medium to high bitterness, short-lasting with aggressive brettanomyces note. Really good, drinkable beer if you like Brett.
