Bottle: Poured a clear golden color ale with a nice pure white foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of citrusy and bitter notes are really dominant. Taste is also dominated by loads of citrusy notes with load of bitter notes with solid malt base. Body is full with good carbonation. Not bad but taste more like one of those early days IIPA with loads of bitterness upfront.

Bottle - Stone fruit and brett notes. Cloudy gold with a rich white head. Sweet, fruity, grassy and a dry finish. Bitter, dry and a nice finish. I actually like it.

Bottle from the brewery. Gusher. That kicks up a lot of yeast, clouding the beer. Light tannish colour. Aroma has bright brett and some muddled yeasty stuff underneath that. Dry and bretty, yeasty and slightly bready malts, maybe berryish hop, maybe. Finishes bretty and burpy. A little unrefined and shows little besides the brett.

750mL bottle, gushes big time, pours an opaque golden orange with a large white head. Aroma brings out barnyard funk, some feet, and floral notes. Flavour is quite complex, with barnyard funk, some Belgian yeast, and wheaty notes. Very well-integrated and aged well. I'm interested to see how this will taste in another 6 and 12 months. But it's great as of now.

Tasting at Matt’s
The bottle is a gusher; cloudy to murky dark blond color with compact head. Very spicy beer overall; the aroma has gentle fruits, apricot; the mouthfeel is too carbonated (expected); funky traits, lightly flowery; there is too much yeast.
Interesting beer, a lot of character, but I wish they could control the fermentation.

Draft @ Alibi & the brewery. Dull gold. Thin head. Big hoppy nose with evident tartness. Clean sourness, lots of amarillo. Like a big berliner with a schwack of finishing hops...i can dig it.
