Bottle courtesy of sic1314. Poured a clear dark brown with a thin light tan head. The aroma is yeast, light barnyard. The flavour is medium bitter with a light watery hop bitter palate. Medium bitter with soft carbonation.

33 cl bottle @ hotel room, Amsterdam. BBE 07.08.2014
Aroma has hops, some tropical fruits, hints of apricot and biscuits. Also some toffee typical to English ales behind the fruity tones. Flavour is somewhat hoppy with peaches, apricot, grapefruit, gooseberry bush and hints of biscuits. A feeling of English hops at the middle of the glass. A bit mellow for an American IPA – an English IPA this must be.

Brett cask @ In De Wildeman. Aroma has licorice and soy sauce - and that is what it looks like too! Also some leathery bretta tones. Flavour has sour cherry juice, some leathery tones from bretta, hints of licorice and soy sauce. Also some sweet berry juice tones and vinegar. Hides the ABV very well. Like a real ale version of oud bruin. Balanced but not my thing.

Great bretty porter. The roasted notes of the malt go very well with the bitter hops and the tardy brett. Tasty stuff.

Cask @ In de Wildeman, small sample. Dark brown color, short frothy head. Aroma of english breakfast, scrambled eggs, bacon, coffee, some mocha. Bit sweet in taste, slight bitter, quite alcoholic. Weird off-putting aroma actually.

Gravity cask @ In De Wildeman (Brettfest 2014). Black color. No head. Aroma’s- from the glass: sourish, salty, vomit - retronasal: sourish, light sweet, soy sauce. Flavor: moderate sour, moderate sweet, salty. Rather full bodied. Slightly roasted malty & dry finish. Yuk.

Tap @ In de Wildeman. Opaque pitch black color, small beige head. I only get sourness and dark malts in the aroma. Taste malts, sourness, caramel, fruitpeel. Medium to full body, medium carbonation. Not bad.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at Kris Wines. Pours cloudy, rich gold with a thick, tight off-white head. The aroma holds tangy tangerine, lemon, pale wood, faint brett maybe, a bit of grass. Light-medium sweet flavor with a bit of peach, mild twangy citrus fruits, melon, some bitter wood, dry grass, hay, slight grain husks. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes relatively clean with low bitterness, some sandy grass, more woody aspects, orange rind, light minerality, balancing sweetness, some slight lemon notes. Interesting stuff and pretty drinkable, but the galaxy hops seem fairly neutered. Still, it’s fair.
