Sunset orange with white head. The Brett is very funky and i actually get a lot of ketchup on the nose. I normally like beers with Brett but this just seems disjointed and I keep coming back to a spicy ketchup on both the nose and the palate. I hoped to like this more.

Crisp, soft without a lot of spicy hops. Clear whit head. A kolsch that could certainly be a nice session beer.

A dark reddish brown, mahogany ale with a thin lacing moka head. In aroma, licorice with light vinous notes, dark fruits, nice little hops. In mouth, a harsher drink than expected, with sweet butterscotch, grating hops, chocolate, interesting, but in the end, cloying. On tap at brewpub, April 4, 2010.
