Dec 9, 2008 Orange-straw with good, creamy white head / Funky nose of brett and green apple / Light to medium body, acidic yet resinous, fruit, with good, long finish / Funky flavors of brett, green apple, ginko, eucalyptus, white pepper / Not picking up the figs. Very Jolly Pumpkin-like, but less citrusy in favor of vegetal funk.

Dec 6, 2008 Pours a hazy yellow with a big, thick white head. There is a lot going on in the aroma. Apples, figs, some funk, pepper. Flavor is tart. It could be more tart. Its a bit salty, some funk. My enjoyment of this beer comes in waves, where, I seem to like it, then it turns my stomach, then I like it again. Explains the disparity in the range of reviews. I think the issue with this beer is the pepper and figs. Its better than the reviews would lead you to believe.

Nov 30, 2008 (10/26/08) Bottle at Barcade in Brooklyn. Hazy orange color. Aroma of some green apples, bretty notes and some malt. Sweetish-sourish flavor with some fruits, a bit too much yeast and some spicy notes. Medium-bodied with lots of carbonation. Quite nice.

Nov 30, 2008 I thought this was quite good. Pours a clear gold with white head. Its a strange combo of flavors. A little bit like a saison, lemon zest, grass, and funkiness, but also some fruit, banana, nuts, pepper, clove, and bread. This is underrated, I would like to celler a couple bottles.

Nov 28, 2008 Sparky sent this along to me as a bonus, thanks man. I was in the mood for something "different", and this fit the bill nicely. Pours a hazy orange/yellow, with some nice clouds. Nose is almost Christmas-y, spice, figs, plums, yeast, gingerbread, and clove. Dry finish with a nice mouthfeel. Flavor is solid for a farmhouse, the cheesecloth and funk take a backseat to the spice, but it didn’t bother me any. The dark fruit and spice work well together, and the christmas flavors work as balance. This one is underrated, I wouldn’t mind having one to age.

Nov 28, 2008 Poured a gold body with strong white head. Aroma is pleasantly funky. A bit of a letdown upon the first sip. Seems like a mess of fruit, spices, sugar. Just way too busy.

Nov 20, 2008 22oz Bomber. Poured gold with white head. Smelled funky, yeasty and figs. Tasted slightly sour with a strong fig and spice combination. I didn’t think it was as bad as people say it was, just really not my cup of tea.

Nov 16, 2008 It’s golden with a white, creamy head. The aroma is sharp, spicy with notes of barnyard, yeast and light fruit. The flavour has sweetness and notes of fruit, barnyard, caramel, spice, figs and it’s complex and interesting. It ends on a sweet, dry and spicy note, and the brett is on an OK level for me.
