This rating has been a long time coming - first of all, many thanks to cquiroga for this - I drink this beer in celebration of many things - I have had a good year - I moved to a new state, started a new job, witnessed the birth of my first child, and now, on this day, have purchased my first home - I figured this was as good a day as any to open this beer - this beer is so lively when it pours, it sounds like a rising ocean current - the nose is loaded with citrus and tropical fruit notes (mostly pineapple), with aromas of funk, horseblanket, and acidity that are much more subdued than I was anticipating - a nicely balanced and inviting aroma, for sure - despite the lively pour, the carbonation is actually fairly mild in the mouth - medium-bodied, with a kind of slick mouthfeel - fairly refreshing and clean, not at all what I was expecting - moderate acidity and a gentle sourness - quite a bit of pineapple, lemon, and orange zest - very mellow brett funkiness arrives late and lasts through the finish - a touch of peppery/warming quality on the tail end - a tiny bit of oxidation, but aside from that, it’s hard to tell its age (this one is holding up well) - quite a nice, balanced ale - not at all like the "brett in your face" ales that a lot of brewers are making these days, which is quite a nice change of pace - my son, now currently six months old, is sitting in my lap, reaching for my glass - I am having a hard time keeping him away; he clearly already has good taste in beer - yes, it has been a good year.
