Bottle (Batch #1, August 2011). Pours with a hazy, deepish gold body with a large and lasting, fluffy off-white head. Great lace. Aromas amazingly good! Right off the bat: fresh tangerine/grapefruit juice. Good acidity, a little funk, red wine, tropical fruit hop notes, CITRA! Smells a little bit like Le Terroir with the hop and funk note. Sweet, perfume, floral, estery. Light bready malt. Very fragrant, pineapple. Amazing! Flavors are funky as well, juicy, oak, barrel, red wine, fruit, floral, a bit grassy. A touch grainy, bready and straw like. Surprisingly bitter (both hop and tannin). Nice tropical fruit, grassy hop notes, some pepper, rich yet delicate, lots of nice tropical brett C esters. Lingering, slightly acidic stonefruit. Blown away, this is OUTSTANDING! Lively, playful carbonation, lingering funk, nice tannin, lightly warming, creamy bubbles. Balanced and complex. This might be one of my new favorite breweries.

Bottle. Pours clear gold with frothy white head. Nose of Brett, lemon citrus, light oak and chardonnay. Taste is the same with lots of Bretty lemons and a dry chardonnay finish. Medium body.

750mL cork&cage bottle shared by JB, thanks. Pours with a pale body that one cannot see through. It is thick and glowing with a halo lacing. It is all citrus, natural and bretty citrus on the nose. Its very herbal and dry as well. Flavor has a similarly tingly citrus and dry as hell in the summertime. The beer tingles on the cheeks, very lively yet dry. I love the wonderful herbal dryness and citrus character. Thanks JB!

Stilton and white cheddar nose, pungent, strong, and undeniable. Also a little cellary (not celery, I can spell). Clear effervescent yellow, thin head. Body is thin and flavor is lemon with lesser cheesiness. Odd beer, with little to no traditional witbier characteristics. Extremely funky nose, but disappointing by comparison on the palate.

Big thanks to Aaron - fizzy, turbid gold - minimal head - nose is almost all Brett - pineapple and a lot of lemon, but also some faint notes of sulphur that are slightly off-putting - flavor is dry and extremely funky, with notes of grapefruit and lemon, some cheesiness - some sulphur shows up in the flavor as well - some overdone oakiness - certainly some potential here, but I find this one flawed and overdone.

Bottle. Moderately hazy, light yellow appearance with a white head. Really a nice lemony, bretty, slightly tart, dry, wheat malty aroma. Lemony, slightly spicy, tart, bretty, light white wine, wheat malty flavor with a dry, vinous, slightly tart finish. Very cool beer.

750 ml bottle shared by fancypantsbeer. Batch 1 May 11. Pour is a cloudy yellow white, with a smallish white head that falls quick. Aroma has some oily phenols, earthy wheat, some barnyard yeast, and a touch of bathroom odors. Pretty wild nose. Taste is bone dry, big brett barnyard yeastiness up front, moves to an herbal, almost lemony grassiness, finishes dry again with more of the brett. Palate is light bodied, light active carbonation. Nice one, thanks JB.

750 c&c from The Davis Beer Shoppe in Davis, CA. Opened with a soft puff. Pours hazy light gold with a creamy white head. Aroma of lemon juice squeezed in the barnyard. Near med body. Flavor is definitely brett/barnyard. Thinks there’s a bit of light vinosity and oak. Certainly astringent. The flavor is really good. It’s not super strong, but it’s really good. I think the brett moved the wit towards saison. Definitely a dry finish.

OMG! This one was a total surprise. Bottle at Paradiso Dupont, shared with RJ, Charles and one other dude. Cloudy yellow, medium white head. Aroma has serious barnyard funk and horse sweat, as good as any geuze I’ve had. Taste has harsh sourness, citrus, pepper, hay and salt. A total shock, and Avery unique combination. No idea what happens when this one ages, but I intend to find out. What a great choice for a first easy coast release! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
