Bottle shared by someone. Pours a hazy orange color with a large frothy white head. Good head retention. Aroma of peppery, herbal and earthy notes, stone fruits and tropical fruits. The taste is earthy notes, caramel, tropical fruits and a bitter hop finish. Medium bodied. Quite nice.

Cloudy orange color, large off white head that settles quickly and leaves solid lacing. Aroma of citrus > grass > fruit. Taste is barnyard lemons, straw and hay with sour peppers toward the finish. Very nice stuff.

Bottle at whole foods Bowery enjoyed during NFL Sunday afternoon games. Pours dirty blonde with huge fluffy head that lasts and lasts with great lacing. Nose is citrus and wine and everything fine. Tastes plenty of Chardonnay with champaign mixed in, u get the grapefruit citrus of ipa, without a lot of sweetness like most dipa. It’s bitter and drying and oh so delicious. I’m lovin the folks at anchorage

Bottle picked up on whim at DeCicios in Ardsley. Pours cloudy dirty orange with small head. Great nose of grapefruits, spice and sour patch kids. Tastesnof tart cherries, Pinot noir aging comes thriught, pepper, grass, and floral notes. Lively carbonation and quick drying on palate although flavor lingers. Reall really good.

750 c&c from The Davis Beer Shoppe in Davis, CA. This place has lots of good beer!!! Pours hazy dark amber with a frothy/foamy off-white head. Aroma through the foam is celery and very mucky barnyard. Followed by fruity perfume? Med + body. Flavor is celery, barnyard, red wine, funk, barnyard, yeast/spice, oak, French shoes(:)) This is fruity, juicy funky stuff. This is rich vinosity hitting farm yard. My mouth tingles. My nose rejoices. Where do these guys come from?

750 c&c from The Davis Beer Shoppe in Davis, CA. Pours dirty hazy gold with a 4 finger creamy off-white head. Aroma is floral, light cat pee, resin, and who know what lurks beneath all that foam. Brett aroma as the beer approaches the nose. Med body. Mild carb. Flavor is very brett, with some light caramel and a huge amount of not so bitter, but very intense (redundant?) hop. Floral, resin, and then it really turns bitter. Smooth. No heat. Sweet light stone fruit. This stuff changes from moment to moment. OMFGIHDAGTH. Figure that out. This is a really great beer. This is desert island beer. Desert island with companion or desert island with a lifetime supply of this beer? Easy choice. Smooth lush and amazing ale.

Bottle, batch #1 from July 2011. I have high expectations for this (even though I normally have low expectations for most Belgian IPAs). The fact that all their other beers were stellar, and that I recall the brewer (Gabe) had a hand in creating 3767, should hopefully make this a winner. Pours with a hazed yellow hue and a very large, just off-white head. Great lace and retention. Aromas of floral, funk, plastic, and a bit grassy (fresh cut grass and the dry hop notes- two separate aromas). Some bready notes. Mint, and some like alcohol (methanol and ethanol?). Light bready phenolics, a bit of a caramelized richness that I associate with some chardonnays. Windex. Tropical fruit, oak, and a ever so slight hint of ethyl acetate. Flavors are quite bitter, noticeable alcohol. A bit of a cohumulone bite, lots of grassy and even vegital hop notes. A decent amount of belgian ester notes with some ethyl acetate pear to nail polish notes. A bit of white wine, oak, and chardonnay butteriness. Green tasting. Apples. Very lively carbonation, warming, a bit sharp on the bubbles. Lasting and lingering bitterness. The oak seems to clash a bit more with the base beer than their other two. The complex funk is also reduced. The brett character is also quite a bit more generic than 3767, and the tannins from the oak combined with the extra hop bitterness throw it a bit out of proportion. All of those comments were nit picks (mostly know what this brewery is capable of). Soapy finish. While its a tasty beer, its not amazing. Unique for sure. The weakest initial offering from this brewery (but the other two offerings are world beaters, so that is not a bad thing).

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.
