7.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
Bottle @ Scott’s Summer Saison tasting. Thanks so much Scott! Clear, light yellow appearance with a fluffy white head. Musty, straw/hay, a bit funky aroma. Tangy, straw, peppery, dry grainy, light citrusy flavor with a dry finish. Maybe my least favorite Anchorage offering.

50cl bottle shared by Arve_Christian. Thanks! Hazy golden with a nice white head. Aroma of brett, fruit, yeast, citrus and passion fruit. Fruity and funky with a medium body. Citric, bitter and very nice. Excellent saison with lots of flavour. Well balanced and very nice!

Aroma has lightly sour yeast and moderate herbal hops. Dry flavor, which I attribute to the chardonnay barrel. A clear gold ber, with a nice white head. Lightly sweet malt. An unusual tripel. I like it.

Very pale. The aroma has lots of brett, fruity notes, and lightly orangey character. Mellow with spices and a hint of coriander. Quite hoppy, with herbal bitterness and coriander spiciness. Fun beer, not a lot of malt, but a tasty idea. On reflection, this really does need a little more malt. Gotta get to the bottle early I guess, before the brett chews up too much sugar.

Split bottle with friends. Poured a semi-hazy orange color with a small off-white head. Aroma was floral spice notes, yeast notes. Slight funk. Flavor is yeasty, with notes of spice and a touch of floral and earthy hops. Okay.

Bottle shared at my 30:th birthday tasting on May 5 (30 år av Surt). Bottle bought @ Ølbutikken (many thanks to the staff who saved a bottle for me for more than a month). Pours hazy deep reddish golden with a huge frothy and fluffy white head that leaves some thick lacing and trace while dissipating. Smell is sweet, fruity, tiny floral and intense with grapes, cloves, lemon zest, wood, brett, barnyard, plums, ginger and hints of red wine. Taste is slightly sweet, tiny sour and fruity with ripe grapes, ripe plums, ripe citrus fruits, wood, hay, brett, ginger, white pepper and hints of mango and alcohol. Mouthfeel is dry, tiny tart, round and medium to full bodied. Finish is sweet, bitter and tiny sour with citrus fruits, hay, grapes, wood and hints of pine.

Bottle: Poured a hazy medium orangey color ale with a large foamy head with good retention. Aroma of light Brett notes with some dry hops notes and lightly sweet malt notes. Taste is a quiet complex mix between some Brett notes with light funky ester mix in with Nobel dry hops and some sweet malt with a light spicy yeast finish. Body is quite full for style with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Very well brewed with good balance and nice drinkability factor.

Bottle at "30 år av surt", on May 5, 2012 in Göteborg. Orangée, col crémeux blanc. Arôme de brett qui se mélange bien avec l’usage de barrique de pinot, garde ce bouquet de chêne français le tout est frais et donne une bouquet fleuri très agréable. En bouche, palais léger, vin avec un très agréable fin de bouche fleuri qui met bien en avant la barrique et des notes citronnées, le tout a une certaine douceur de pétales de roses et une pointe de pelure d’orange avec ce profile de vin de pinot. Garde ce profile bien belge avec l’innovation américaine pour faire une saison de haute qualité.

Bottle at my Pre-CBC Tune-Up Tasting, thanks to Leighton. It pours straw yellow, with a quickly dissipating white head. The nose is farmyard, herbal, medicinal, funk, vinous, floral and a touch of honey. The taste is tart lemon, wheat, hay, grass. tangy citrus, farmyard, white grape, orange peel and medicinal notes, with a dry, slightly tart finish. Medium body, moderate carbonation and foamy mouth-feel. Good balance and easy drinking. A very good Witbier.
