| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 23, 2008 Bottle pours a hazy well carbonated golden amber body. Sweet and dry brett in the nose. Lemon peel and light funkiness. Hints of spices pepper, dusty hop character, some lemon fruit, a bit acidic and tart but nothing over the top. Floral with a very dry finish thanks to brett. Good brew, etoh is hidden in this dusty brew. goldtwins (4079), Nesconset, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 22, 2008 Poured a hazy light gold with a white head. Dusty and leathery aroma and light floral. Brett funk gets stronger as this warms. So far it smells nicer than I expected from ratings and I will buy another to age. The flavor is hoppy and pretty floral. Especially on the end. Dry finish with a mild bretty bitterness. TURDFERGUSON (1598), Carrboro, North Carolina, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Oct 22, 2008 Draft at Pizza Paradiso. Rating this off a small sample (gasp! b/c a) I didn’t want to pay for a whole bottle of this stuff and b) i didn’t want to have to drink it or feel like i had to at least finish some of it). I’m glad I did. The recipe for this belgian ale is very intriguing but the aromas and flavors I received from it were quite simple and dull. Nose has a mild dose of brett on the front, and is followed by a stale, corn, band-aid potpourri that lingers throughout the whole experience. I tasted a little of the pepper, but the rocky mountain water is difficult to detect. A weird, golden fizzy beer. Cornfield (4925), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 17, 2008 This pours a hazy gold body with a creamy head and liquid lace. It has a floral aroma with a light Bretty funk and a touch of wet hay. The flavor has an underlying grainy sweetness overshadowed by and acidic tartness, a floral bitterness, some white pepper, and a quiet earthiness. The finish is dry and tart. Not bad, but the description made it seem like it’d be much better.

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Oct 15, 2008 Sommerhus. Recieved in as an extra from toncatcher. Pours a hazy golden witth a white head. Sweet wih a low sourness. Aromas of cereals and lots of wet horseblanket. hints of pepper. Dry and sour finish. Fresh taste but still too much brett for my liking.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 11, 2008 Decent brew, but with such a strange palate that I will probably not venture to try it again. Unique indeed, but very experimental this beer seems to be. MatSciGuy (630), Rosemount, Minnesota, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 11, 2008 [Bottle] Pours hazy gold with a small off white head. Aroma is tart and sweet with apple and pears. Flavor is brett, malt, fig, and shrimp. Quite funky. Moosington (28), Costa Mesa, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 11, 2008 Tap at Hollingshead. Medium amber color with tight but short lived head. Estery yeast and slight sour acid in the nose. As mentioned before, definite brett and floral qualities in the flavor, combined with a spicy/sour/musky finish. Good stuff, but would only do one per sitting.
