Pours hazy straw into a tulip. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. Funky Brett aromas. Soft with lemon, Brett and spearmint front to back. Medium length dry bitter marshmallow finish.

Bottle from the brewery Pours a slightly hazy deep yellow color with a decent sized bubbly white head with moderate retention. Fruity juicy tart hop aromas provide a nice counter to the earthy funky onslaught on the nose. Light fruity flavors add some great depth in the flavor against an earthen funk. Light metallic notes and a bit of a gritty mouthfeel. Pretty tasty brew.

Bottle from the brewery. Pours a slightly hazy deep straw color with a good sized bubbly white head that slowly dissipates. Big fruity nose with and earthy funk edge to it. Tart earthy lightly bitter flavor with plenty of earthen funk to it. Touch of alcohol in the finish. Citrus sharpness melds wonderfully with the earthy rustic funk.

Bottle shared by Chris on 5/21/16, thanks!
Good clarity in this peachy-tangerine-golden body. Orange-tinted, off-white head atop shows moderate to moderately low retention.
Very elegant orange in the nose reminds of grand mariner as very easygoing sour acids provide a light backdrop. Bits of mild wood and biscuity malts sit in the background as well. No alcohol or flaw. Really, really nicely developed fruit aromatics, though the beer aspect is extremely light/mild (which is fine).
Easygoing again in flavor with a lightly juicy orange character that adds modest acidity and a quenching dryness. Again soft and elegant, it lingers long on the finish propelled on by a low but mostly engaging carbonation. As far as the beer character, it would be nice to see more sourness/tartness. As is, it’s only very minimally tart, with soft wood tannin and very light honey and biscuit maltiness. Still, it’s exquisitely clean and it’s hard to argue with the absolutely stunning orange character. Maybe once some of that fades, some sourness/funk will emerge. Have a bottle I will hold for a while.

Growler from the source. Hazy deep straw color with a smallish quickly fading white head. Light spicy wheat and faint bready malt with a decent hit of puckering lemony tartness. Great warm weather quaffer.

Growler filled a few hours ago at the brewery. Pours a brilliantly clear light golden with a frothy rocky bone white head that slowly recedes. Dripping with tropical fruits as soon as I pop the growler open. Citrus and pine as well as some light sweet bready maltiness play supporting roles. Juicy pine resinous dank with bits of grapefruit and light sweet bread. smooth but firm bitterness. Fuck that is a great beer!

Bottle from Bert’s Pours a slightly hazy deep yellow with a good sized bubbly white head that slowly dissipates. Big orange and funk on the nose with hints of candied peach and lemon. Bitter pithy citrus flavor with a solid shot of lactic tartness. Mild earthy funkiness in a fairly dry finish. Interesting take on a Iambic style beer, can’t say I’ve ever had one with oranges before. It kind of works, I enjoyed sipping on this.

Draught at 5 Horse Tavern, Somerville, 5/15/16.
Hesitant to post this review especially given the other ratings, but I can only go with what I experienced and sadly this thing was very near undrinkable. Light amber-golden with a moderate haziness and a small white head that quickly receded.
Peachy-pineapple in the nose is fairly juicy and bright but succumbs quickly to moderate caramel, sourdough and pine resin on the end. Definitely dampens the perceived bright notes and comes off just a bit too malty. No alcohol or flaw noted.
The flavor suffers the most, with a huge sourdough-meets-spoiled-peach character. Resin-like pine and grapefruit add too much bitterness and a rather sluggish caramel character lasts on the finish. Low, rather loose carbonation is not able to add any levity to the texture and lots of stewed hop resin lingers as well.
Don’t know what happened here, maybe the very bottom of the keg and lots of yeast got mixed in? Not sure. Love Deciduous and will certainly rerate it at next opportunity.
