Sep 19, 2008 Bottle. Translucent golden pour with a small white head. Nose is sour fruits, soft spices, wild yeast, and sweat and leather. Taste is also tart fruits, ripe fruits, spices, funky yeast notes, sweet malts, leather, sweat and flowers. The body on this one has a light-medium overall feel with a light dryness and a soft, bubbly carbonation. The finish brings out more flowers, soft alcohol, spices, funky yeast, sweet malts, ripe and sour fruits and leather. Not as bad as the ratings let on.

Sep 18, 2008 Pours a hazy cloudy gold color, with a medium white head. Smells of some earth, spice, little candy sugar, and citrus fruit mixed. Not a bad aroma. The flavor was a little confused for my taste. It kind of was all over the place. One minute its spicy, the next its sweet, the next its funky, really had no flow to it. I didnt hate it, but wouldnt reach for another bottle again really. Just seems like another disappointing Ameerican try at a Belgian style ale. I really have been enjoying their anniversary beers, so this was a let down for me.

Sep 18, 2008 Bottle. Full or earth floral tones that overpower and do not complement each other. Just not very good and I was unable to finish.

Sep 18, 2008 Pale apple juice color, foamy thick head. Prominent bretty aroma, some fruitiness and sour nail polish notes. Flavor is light and airy at first, tart and metallic but ultimately chock-full of phenolics. Overwhelmingly full of band-aids. Fruity ones, but band-aids nonetheless. Finishes with light bitterness, a little tartness and more massive phenols. Not my thing at all. Strange mouthfeel at the end.

Sep 18, 2008 [EBF @ Copenhagen, September 2008] Thanks to Morten. Average fizzy white head that mostly lasted. Fair display of lacework. Clear golden color. Initial thoughts was a mild Lambic feel, with notes of leather, sweet and sour fruit, citrus, barnyard. Over the palate came mild sweet toasted malt and a hint of wheat. Medium bodied with an average carbonation and mild dry texture. Moderated acidic and sweet flavor in good balance. Mild lingering citrus fruity finish.

Sep 17, 2008 Bomber. A combination of strong graininess and a nice fruitiness make this a winner IMO. Estery and yeasty, with only a minor barnyard characteristic. Very mellow and drinkable, especially for the high ABV. If this wasn’t labeled as having brett in it people would likely have rated it higher, I think.

Sep 17, 2008 Medium amber colored body with a large bright white head. The aroma was funky with some brett and pears. There was also some cinnamon. The taste was rich pears and brett. There was also a leathery finish. Highly carbonated, this was not very drinkable. A strange and weirdly interesting beer, but not something I would try again.

Sep 15, 2008 Bottle. Medium high and lasting off-white head. Hazy dark yellow body. Oranges lemon aroma plus something foul like seaweed or goodness knows what, the figs maybe? Fruity yeast flavor with a fair amount of hops bitterness, high carbonation and a long aftertaste.
