Oct 31, 2008 22oz bomber bottle. I’ve enjoyed the Avery Anniversary series from 10 up, 14 being my favorite thus far. I think this one is vastly underrated. Hazy golden-orange color. Pepper and Brett aroma. Complex herbal and fruit flavors amidst the mild sourness. Relatively thin on the palate, very refreshing dry finish. The figs work really well with the Brett taste. Good stuff. Not unlike a Stille Nacht in terms of fruitiness.

Oct 29, 2008 65 cl bottle at Skallerup Klit. Hazy orange brown color, fine white head. Aroma is very strong with dried fruit, citrus, figs - almost rotten, but not bad... Flavor is fruity, spicy with fine carbonation. A very special ale.

Oct 26, 2008 Bottled. Frothy white head, good lace, hazy yellow pour. Lemon, dough, and a little barnyard in flavor and aroma. Medium bodied with a pleasingly dry finish. I think Avery did a great job with this one and was surprised it’s percentile was so low. I thought it was quite excellent.

Oct 25, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Bottled in April 2008. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a huge and fluffy off-white head. A somewhat funky, sweetly floral aroma that features some lemons, pepper, Golden Delicious apples, hints of alcohol and that distinctive Brett smell. Medium body. Sweet and tangy upfront with lots of tart apples and a little citrus. Pepper and spices at the mildly dry end.

Oct 24, 2008 Updated: Oct 26, 2008(Bottle) Pours light hazy golden with a medium, white head. The friendly side of the aroma is the spicy, woody, citric dry and brett-funky tones but the medium to heavily herbal/grassy, stale floral and too clean fruity notes is a problem for my nose. Hints of a orange/mild lemon juiciness, tart pears, green apples, overripe peach, prunes, figs, hay, coriander, pepper, milky cheese, dough, mild cherry perfume, plastic, honey and roses are all present. Dusty dry. The flavour is of citrus, brett, fruits, green vegetables, hay, grain, cracker, peppery spices, alongside mild floral/piney and woody hints. Starts light sweet but the finish is rather dry. Light to medium bitter. The mouthfeel light unclean, light sourish and dry with a medium carbonation. The aftertaste is of horse-like brett, citrus and dry malt. Medium bodied. Quite complex, quite mediocre...

Oct 23, 2008 I can’t smell very much in this beer. Looks ok, not much head. This is strange. A little fruit, but not distinct. I can’t tell what it is about this beer but it’s not that great really. Okay at best. Don’t get any distinct fig.

Oct 23, 2008 I’ve had this 3 times now and I really can’t get myself to like it (drainpour, actually). Weird, weird brett strain that doesn’t seem quite right. Band aidy and a huge grainy pepper flavor that totally dominate. I don’t get this...especially dont get how it won a medal at GABF - I still love Avery!

Oct 23, 2008 Bottle from Total Wine. Pours a thumbnail of white head and a dark, murky golden color. The nose is quite intriguing and a precedent of the flavors to come with notes of fruits, fig, and funky Brettanomyces. Flavors include grapes, more fig, subtle sour yeast, shoebox, spices, and a bitter hops presence in the back. Medium/high carbonation and medium body. I enjoyed this brew thoroughly; it is interesting and complex. I always love when breweries experiment with wild yeast strains and unconventional ingredients. This beer is surely underrated and could possibly be one of my favorites from Avery so far.
