Bottle thanks to Dallas. Pours a cloudy amber color with a small white head. A big nose of brett, grapes and oak. A light funky flavor with lots of barrel, sawdust, lemon, light malty fruit. Good.

750ml bottle pours a hazy orange gold with some tight, white head. Nose is really solid, lemon peel, grapefruit, wood pulp, grass, hay, band aid, horseblanket, white pepper. Flavor was similar, very solid though, some celery, grass, pithy, tart, hay, lightly peppery, lightly woody, funk. Medium bodied, dry, tart finish. Really nice.

375 ml bottle courtesy of JB. Bottled as "Ocvlvs Dexter" - description "Sour Golden Ale Brewed With Vignole Grapes Aged In French Oak Casks". ABV 8.9%. Theoretically same beer as listed. The pour is a light golden, with a small white head. The aroma is Brett barnyard straight off, lightly sour, wood and lemon citrus. The taste is bright lemon citrus, white grapes, blended nicely with a soft funk sour, and finishes with a bit of an unexpected sugar sweetness. The palate is medium bodied, lower level of soft carbonation, and a funky sour soft finish. Decent, interesting. Thanks for sharing this one John.

Bottle, 75cl. A gusher, producing a collapsing off-white head over an unclear, orange colored body. The aroma is fruity and lightly yeasty, with something rose-like and a bretty touch. It’s quite effervescent, medium bodied and dry. The flavor is very flowery and quite sourish, with funky hints and some lemon and generic fruityness. Lasting flowery finish. Well, it certainly didn’t do anything special for me, but it’s a quite pleasant beer anyway. 121109
