750 ml bottle into tulip glass, 2016 vintage dating on the cork. Pours slightly hazy medium orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, pineapple, mango, papaya, guava, white grape, peppercorn, pine, hay, straw, leather, oak, musty funk, light caramel, bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, citrus/tropical/pine hops, oak, and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge tart lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, pineapple, mango, papaya, guava, white grape, peppercorn, pine, hay, straw, leather, oak, musty funk, light caramel, bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast/oak earthiness. Good amount of yeast/tannic oak spiciness, piney bitterness, and fruity/acidic tartness on the finish; with lingering notes of tart lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, pineapple, mango, papaya, guava, white grape, peppercorn, pine, hay, straw, leather, oak, musty funk, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast/oak earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, citrus/tropical/pine hops, oak, and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/tart/bitter/spiciness balance, and minimal astringent flavors after the finish. Moderate dryness from bitter/tart/spiciness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, sticky/acidic/tannic/grainy, and lightly resinous balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is an awesome Brett IPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, citrus/tropical/pine hops, oak, and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink, even with the strong bitter/spicy flavors. A very enjoyable offering.

750 capped and corked bottle purchased at Plaza Liquors in Kansas City, Missouri. Placing the rating on this beer, though the label of the beer actually read “Central Coast Saison of Uncommon Origins”. The pour is a hazed orange golden with a smaller white head that dissipates quickly. The aroma is straw hay, lemon citrus and a soft vinegar in the back. The taste is the bright acidic, lemon tart, sour right up front, followed by some grain and a bit of dry earth toward the back. The palate is medium bodied with active natural carbonation and a tart bright acidic finish. Nicely done, great recommendation Thomas.

Capped & corked 750 from Corti Bros. Pours hazy gold with no head. Light sourish mixed fruit aroma. Med body almost. Flavor is slightly sour mixed fruits. Citrus seems in it. It drinks very nicely. Finally some oakiness develops. Coconut? May take awhile. :)
