Oxford tasting
Cloudy blond color with generous head. Nice Brett aroma. Dry and astringent mouthfeel; strong Brett character, too yeasty though.
Not bad, but oo dirty.

Cork and cage bottle from the LCBO. Pours a hazy, unfiltered copper-amber colour with a light mocha-coloured frothy head, average retention and light, creamy lacing. Sour nose with some well-blended balsamic vinegar and hints of dark fruits. Really, 9% ABV ?? Cannot feel this at all. So smooth, with flavours of again, well-balanced dark vinegars and sour notes. A tad wood to add to the complexity of this one. Another great product from this classy brewery, giving Hill Farmstead a run for their money.

Draught @ St Augs. Bretty, nice barrel note, dry, hoppy, nice sweet red wine barrel influence. The elements come together as well in the glass as they do on paper with this one. Excellent.

Bottle from the LCBO. Pours a hazy golden-orange colour with loads of effervesce, a warm frothy cap, very long lasting with patchy foam lacing. Well-blended Brett aromas of wild yeast with some earthiness and light sourness. Fresh citrus nose as well with orange juices and peel. The Brett is also nicely balanced with the IPA citrus notes in the taste. Not too crazy bitter, but with some nice dryness. All-around, very well-brewed Brett IPA.
