Lukr at AE, 10/19/25. Gin/liquor over grains, wheat, grass. Some botanicals, floral notes, light spice, light citrus. Drinks similar to the aroma, but more balanced toward the underlying beer. Pretty good overall, but I prefer the original.

16 oz can from AE, 10/17/25. Fully unclear yellowish color with a large, foamy white head. Bright, lemon, funk, and grass. Bretty horse blanket face slaps. Pepper and earth come through as well. Dry, funky. Tons of flavor. Classic brett saison stuff right here, and damn enjoyable.

16 oz can from the brewery, 10/16/25. It pours a burnt orange-darker reddish color, with a beige head and heavy lace. Rich caramel and grainy malts. Sweat, toffee notes. Touch of bready / roasty dryness. Bitter earthy notes for balance. Very smooth and balanced mouthfeel. Sweet upfront, a little drier toward the close. Quite nice overall. Fun beer.

16 oz can from the brewery, 10/5/25 (canned 10/2/25). Big Congrats to Brendan, Scott, Steve, and the rest of the AE team on their 5th Anniversary! Pours a fully hazy orange color with a large, foamy, and frothy white head that leaves heavy lacing on the glass. Tons of hop flavor, with some juicy tropical hops (mango, passion fruit, papaya), some pineapple/ pine, and some white grape all coming through. Bit of that heavy hop oil / green hop thing on the flavor profile, but otherwise it's just bold and extra hop forward. Not much not to like here, curious to see if a week or two longer in the can settles it a bit, bit it's damn good right now.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is lemon drop hops. Flavor is crisp malt and some bitter lemon peel hops. Little bitter finish. Good but not really a stand out.
