hazy amber golden color. Very funky nose of brett, lactos, plums and oak. Love the nose. The mouthfeel is a bit heavier than expected and a bit lifeless. Finishes oaky, brett and some plums. Starts fantastic but then just goes average

Can: Poured a pale golden color ale with a medium size foamy head. Aroma of residual sugar notes with light dry ester is OK. Taste is a mix of residual sugar notes with some dry ester and some light rustic malt notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Lacking some attenuation and complexity but still enjoyable.
