Hazy, copper colour with some amber hue before it hazes up. The head is frothy, warm-beige coloured with some good retention and mild lacing. The Brett is felt in the nose with a touch of vinegar, wild yeast, but it calms a bit down when the haze appears. Some malt base and hints of Bourbon, dark fruits. These three last one show up a little more in the flavours. Some coffee, chocolate, wood notes with decent dryness. Was expecting big richness for a Quad, and thick... but no, on the thin mouthfeel side. A little warming happens with time, and is embraced. Goes down nicely and not bad overall, but was not expecting the Brett, but more of a Quadrupel with a Bourbon touch only.

473mL can. Pours clear blonde with small white head. Aroma has crisp malts and very gentle but present gin barrel. Flavour has dry grass, straw, cracker malts, slightly bitter juniper berries, and some dry barrel. The gin barrel has been remarkably well-incorporated into the underlying pilsner. Though the quality of the base beer is a bit less certain.

Un mélange de pamplemousse, de fruit à noyau, de noix de coco et de banane compose un olfactif complexe et original. Mousse rocailleuse qui descend moyennement rapidement. Liquide doré et limpide. Entrée de bouche plutôt fruitée avec des notes de noix de coco et fruits à noyau suivie d’une intense amertume âpre et astringente qui persiste de longues secondes en fin de bouche. Le gustatif représente une déception par rapport au potentiel prometteur de l’olfactif. La finale est résineuse et herbacée avec une âpreté extrêmement désagréable. La base maltée est totalement absente. L’astringence constitue le défaut principal de cette bière qui ne me procure aucun plaisir gustatif. Déception. O:8.04 V:4.4 G:4.95 C:2.5 G:9.6 T:29.49

375ml bottle that pours a dark brown colour with ruby highlights, a mocha-coloured head, average stay and a nice topping over the brew, a few lacing spots left. Big chocolate nose with some vinegar notes, mild sourness and hints of cranberries. The taste shows a bit more of the sour-vinous side over the roasted-chocolate malt base with the fruit lingering in the background. A tad coffee all-around. Not a bad brew, interesting, but lacking a little finesse, balance to have the roasted malt stand out with a little warming alcohol.

Clean, dark brown colour with ruby and amber highlights, a frothy light-beige head with good stay and lacing. Roasted malt aromas with a touch of freshly grounded coffee and a tad fruitiness. The taste continues this fruity-burnt barley base with hints of berries. The coffee nicely comes out a little more in the aftertaste, lingering. An easy-going stout with the coffee being mildly blended, and a tad of berries.

Pain crouté fraichement sorti du four ainsi que des accents floraux et épicés font foi d'un olfactif bien traditionnel. Mousse généreuse, semi crémeuse et persistante. Liquide doré et parfaitement limpide. Entrée de bouche assez maltée avec notes de pain, de céréales ainsi qu'une pointe de miel. Finale poivrée et herbacée, mettant bien en valeur le Hallertau. Le corps est bien rondelet et la texture onctueuse. L'arrière-bouche est bien persistante et laisse trainer les houblons pendant de longues secondes. Une lager Allemande comme je les aime; bien maltée et amère. Gouteuse et très appréciée. O:6.6 V:4.35 G:8.0 C:3.15 G:16.45 T:38.55

Hazy golden colour with a frothy white cap, good stay and lacing, with a coating that stays on the brew. Aromas are a little sour, lightly funky, oranges and yeasty. Sour flavours with Brett-funk and citrus notes. A nice Bretty Saison that gives a lot.

Last can found that pours a lightly hazy, golden-amber colour with a smaller, warm-frothy head leaving a little foam on the brew. A really nice blend in the aromas of fruitiness from the IPA side, and the Kveik with a tad sourness. Some peachiness and a touch of honey in the taste. The mouthfeel is on the thin side with a little tart left on the tongue and light dryness. An interesting sour Kveik IPA that is not too sour, but shows a nice fruitiness with the special yeast.

Bottle from my first trip at the brewery. Hazed, amber colour with golden highlights, a fizzy head that disappears quickly, but carbonation is lively, continuing a fizzy top in the middle. Particles from the fruit-flower floating around. Mild vinegary aromas with the blending of blackberries and hibiscus. The fruitiness comes out on top in the flavour, with the wildness in the background. A nice blackberry-hibiscus beer with a tamer wild-funkiness - which I appreciate.

Hazy, golden-orange colour with a small off-white bubbly head that does not stay long, leaving no lacing. Big Brett-like aromas with funkiness, sourness, vinegar and a touch of Saison. Flavours are also funky, sour with pear notes, a tad citrus, but not getting much of the NEIPA side, nor the Saison, as the wild-side takes over. Too bad, sounded like a cool blend of three styles - but Brett won.
