On tap at Stateside, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out herbal notes, some grass, and biscuity malt. Flavour is clean, with notes of corn, biscuity malt, light fruity sweetness and herbal hops. Quite a decent smooth, sweet lager. Good.

Bottle from CraftBeerKings. Pours orange/gold with a transient white head. Aroma is fruit ester and white wine. Some wood and/or "fish" also. Fish? A passing fancy. Gone now. Full bodied or nearly. Flavor is wood, white wine, fruit ester, and a little yeast/spice. Not getting banana, but it could be in the fruit mix. Cismontane barrel aging so far escapes brett. And surprisingly enough, this works out just fine. Unless my brett detector has gone sour. (joke that)

Bottle from CraftBeerKings. Aroma is yeasty/bready/winey - a bit like bread soaked in wine. Med body or so. Flavor is oaky, yeasty, bready, winey, even stone fruit. Haven’t tasted anything like this before - bread soaked in wine is in the right direction. Also suggests sugar-free bakery dessert. It’s quite dry and astringent. Amazing departure from the norm.

50cl bottle pours with a crystal clear amber to ruby red body that supports a thin tan head. The aroma offers up sweet brown sugar dusted figs, prunes, dates and a bit of ripe cherries. The taste is smooth and sweet and prune juice like and then it slides into a semi dry finish. It has the same fruity and sweet notes as noted in the nose with dates and cherries and brown sugar. Pretty nice sipper.
