Bottle - Sweet, funky lemon and farmhouse. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Tart, funky tropical fruit and a tart dry finish. Pretty nice.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of funky brett upfront, with subtle notes of elderflower and grainy notes. Flavour is along the same lines, with a great mix of brett and elderflower, with a dry, funky finish. Super complex, with a wonderful wild yeast quality. Excellent stuff.

750 ml bottle. Pours a hazy amber with moderate head. Aromas of barnyard funk, citrus, and floral/herbs. Flavors of tart green berries, curry, wheat, light yeast and citrus. Interesting.

750mL bottle, pours a deep dark amber brown with a small white head. Aroma is very sharp, with wood, lots of tannins, blackberry skins, and red wine notes. Flavour is very cohesive and complex, with notes of sage, blackberry skins, light vinous notes, and a slight metallic astringent. Super vinous and only lightly herbal. Very elegant and really nicely constructed.

Bottle poured and split. Finally tracked down this style, which has eluded me for years now. Waxed and corked bottle. Pours a cloudy brown with a thin fizz head. Heavy floral aroma with soft berry. Probably one of the most unique beers I’ve tried. Interesting. Fun tick.

On tap at Brouwer's for Big Wood 2015, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of red berries (though I'm admittedly not that familiar with salmonberries), significant red wine presence and grape must. Flavour is much more dominated by the brett, with a wonderfully harmony between the berries, bretty funk and red wine barrels. Very low residual sweetness - the brett has eaten this up it seems. Complex and wonderfully constructed. Excellent.

Draft - Nice sweet and funky Berry and citrus. Clearish gold with a decent white head. Sweet, tart, funky berry, Brett and some herbal notes. Odd, but nice.

Hazy light tan. Herbal and bretty nose is sagey, spicy and a lot of fun. Little herbal note, full brett character and a shot of herbal notes. Fun. Good body, light tartness and very much drinkable. Thanks, CapFlu!
