From my brother: pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma is funky yeast, light fruitiness, bread. Taste is lightly sour, but very wild and funky. Lightly sour, slightly acidic. Noce woody notes. Quite good.

375 mL bottled early 2018, drunk 11/18/18.
Pours a clear, brass-golden with a small, white head that slowly fades to a ring.
Nose is plentiful cereal-like grain mixing with biscuit and white bread as lemon-lime-like Brett character unfolds, balancing with spice. It's a bit strong/overworked and overly phenolic, however, but only just a bit. Otherwise, soft oak, light floral spice and various fruity esters (apple, nectarine, strawberry) linger on the finish with no alcohol or flaw.
In the mouth it's soft, tightly carbonated and well-attenuated with a malty texture that produces notes of honey, white bread and biscuit. Lemon-forward Brett also displays black pepper and lime, and gets a bit heavy/phenolic on the end. Kind of a sugary-cereal-lime-like character that isn't wonderful, but the main force of the beer (soft oak, malt and light lemon and spice) is excellent.

Bottle at BD Aberdeen.. It pours hazy bright orange with a tiny white head. The aroma is earthy, umami, funk, mushroom, tart apricot, peach, sour candy, barnyard and dirt. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, musty, funky, barnyard, hay, definite mushroom, sherbet, wet wood, damp leaves, bit floral, some lactic vibes and dull spice. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Bonkers mix of stuff, but it works. Somehow.
