.75 liter bottle. Wow! First time a cork just blew out of the bottle as I was undoing the cage! Luckily I was not in the way, and I did not get a gusher. A lot of foam in the pour, that settled to some suds on a darkish gold, hazy body. Big smell of brett sourness, overwhelming anything else that might be in it. The taste offers the more traditional IPA bitterness, against light malt. The brett's sour apple and horseblanket linger on the palate after the beer is swallowed. Halfway through the bottle, it still pours with a lot of foam. Brett taste remains dominant. But the mouthfeel is thin as a "regular" beer, so it can be pretty easy drinking. Another bottle from a new friend who was thinning out his cellar for a move.

A classical and powerful ipa that I generally appreciate with Fred and this time, it was at Arbaz. This one is mineral and dry, side of tobacco, bitter and citrus, hoppy, dry malt, long bitterness staying at the mouth.
