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

Bottle (batch 1, May 2011). $14.99. Hazy golden body with a pretty, medium sized white head that lasts and gives great lace. Aromas of candi sugar, citrus peel, coriander, tons of white wine, chardonnay, oak, tannins, brett c, tropical fruit, esters, honey suckle, vanilla, gardenias, floral and perfumy. Flavors of straw, grainy, gardenia, vanilla, oak, floral, brett, funk, flowers. White wine. Very nice! Lively bubbles, dry, tasty, medium bodied. At $15, I’d still buy this again decently often. A truly amazing first beer; looking forward to any and all things Anchorage!
