Draught at King’s Head, 11/23/16.
Lightly hazy, bright bronze-golden body is topped by a small white head showing moderate retention.
Really well-expressed brett in the nose is fruity and shows just a touch of mild band aid. Citrus is fragrant but not overdone, with juicy lime mixing with the base malt that adds honey and graham cracker notes. Barrel is extremely light, probably wouldn’t even realize this was barrel-aged, TBH. Which is fine with me. Round, soft, even and with only mildly fruity hop traces left behind, that complement the brett and easygoing maltiness.
Very impressed by the flavor and texture. Extremely well-conditioned and the brett is nicely restrained, showing no perfume, bread, punchy-twang or heavy citrus. Tangerine, peach, honey and very soft wood tannin with a malty texture, good dryness and tight carbonation. Wow. My appreciation for Banded Horn just went up tenfold after having this.

Cloudy. Small head. Drinkable with pizza although the spicy pie IPA didn’t help. Pine grapefruit. Orange peel honey lemon zest earthy bitters. Straightforward but good

From a fancy beer store in Portland, ME can: pours golden with slight haze and a nice white head. Aroma is bread, biscuit, grass, and lemon. Taste is somewhat bitter adn grassy. With some citrus. Great bready finish. Glad I got two cans of this. What I, and other people, look for in a craft lager.
