Opaque, pinkish-pale. Thin bubbly head. Nice aroma - balanced brett, tartness and plum. The tartness is restrained, the fruit lends sweetness. More subtle than expected.

GABF 2015. yellow color, not especially sour. in fact, not nearly enough. recognizable as a lambic style. it is good, some moderate tartness, but I suspect it needs more time. Light and refreshing, but it did not quite satisfy my taste for a lambic.

This beer is a hazy pale yellow-gold color with a medium foamy white head that diminishes steadily to a film. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of grassy hops, yeast and fruit. Light to medium body with flavors of floral yeast, mildly spicy hops, malt and semisweet fruit. The finish is fruity up front with an herbal yeast aftertaste. Above average overall.

Capped 750 from Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours translucent gold with a creamy white head. Aromas of herb and mild spice. Med + body. Flavor is spicy, fruity, a tad earthy, and rather noble hoppy. Hint of banana? With time there might be a hint of phenol coming through. Mostly it’s not really trying to be dead dry, has some stone fruit popping in, and is really quite tasty. Finishes towards fruity bitter - and even a bit astringent. Heck, even trying for dry. I really like this.

Capped 750 from Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours translucent gold with a white head. Aroma is quite bretty to me. Along with white grape. Med body. Flavor is medium brett, grape, some astringent wood. Really quite clean, if brett can be that way. Dry and bretty finish. Terms like earthy, barnyard and horse blanket could be applied, but this is not like most ales meriting those terms. This is incredibly easy drinking, fairly strongly brett ale. Good stuff.

Capped 750 from Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours dark copper with a beige head. Aroma of malt and pepper. Maybe a touch of fruit. Med + body. Flavor is malty and peppery. Could be some citrus hop. The mouth impact is firm - pepper notes all over in a mild way. Seems to be some earth lurking around. It’s all a bit mild in most things, pepper perhaps aside, but the sum is greater than the parts - or something like that. Peppery tasty in the finish. Really a good experience.

[2/13/15] Draught sample at Almanac & Friends Sourfest at Public House in San Francisco. Hazy golden. Lovely aroma of lacto, fruitiness, a bit of red wine and oak. Sour oaky flavor, quite vinous, grapey, with fruits and some lacto. Medium-bodied. Very nice.

A reddish copper Saison with a thin lacing off white head. In aroma, sweet fruity caramel malt with light grassy hops, light butterscotch, not a Saison, so-so. In mouth, a sweet fruity malt with light lactic notes, infected, sourish mess. On tap at Aces and Ales Nellis.
