Sampled draft @ Arendsnest during Carnivale Brettanomyces #4. Hazy orange, little white. Nose is light mineral, big funk, malt,… Taste is mellow, oddly sweetish with brett, candy, mild funk,… No real balance between the funk & sweetness but apparently this was an infected brew so there is that. It is still pretty decent. Grainy & tad malt body. Okay but unbalanced. (Thanks for sharing Kermis, Maakun & tlahav).
