Commercial Description:
15 years of brewing! You know what’s been the best part lately? Tons of experimentation! For the last couple of years, we’ve been working with several strains of brettanomyces (wild yeast). We found one and deemed it the best for it’s tart flavor and funky, fruity aroma. Adding black mission figs for a subtle jammy aspect, hibiscus flowers for an herbal bouquet and hazy sunset hue, and white pepper for a bit of spicy twang, we’ve created FIFTEEN - a unique drinking experience inspired by the wild farmhouse ales of Belgium. Though immensely complex today, more flavor will emerge with time, so throw a few bottles in your cellar for future celebrations. Thanks to all of you who have made our 15-year ride possible! Peace to all and follow your dreams! Brewed with Rocky Mountain water, malted barley, malted wheat, hops, black mission figs, hibiscus flowers, white pepper, and a very unique strain of brettanomyces yeast.

Bottle, shared w/ danielcurtis81. Just not very great. Lots of floral, and dried fruit, and spices going on, but nothing really takes over, and it’s a garble of not so great flavors. Unfortunately unimpressed.

Bottle @ EBF. Golden with a short lived thin white head. Simply citrus fruits, yeast and brett. Has woody, sour notes but is relatively thin in the mouth. This might have scored higher if I’d been sat at home and spent time with it but amongst all the big beers of the festival I lost interest.

bottle at hopcat. kinda funky, our aroma, somewhat translates to the flavor. kind of barny-horsey-foot flavor, but in a good way. nicely carbonated.

Bottle at EBF08. Citric and funky aroma. Muddy yellow colour. Very small white head. The flavour is nicely citric, good and funky, slightly sour. Hint of orange and yeast.

Bottle @ EBF, 2008, Carlsberg.
Pours piss-yellow with no head. Super aroma, good funkiness, oranges, apples, cider tones, vinegar. Okay, rather dry mouthfeel. Flavour is uninspiring, sweet, light tart, some apples.
