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.

Quite tasty and unique...love the souring of the brett (a flavor I am beginning to appreciate). Honey gold in color with a 1/4 inch tight white head. The aroma is filled with citrus, pepper, and funk. The tartness is a refreshing addition to summer.

Tap @ Hamilton’s. I shared this with a friend and it ended up better than I expected. Though it had way too much spice for me.

Bottle from Belmont Party,OH. Poured hazy amber color with a huge frothy white head that was lasting and produced good lacing. Average sweet citrus aroma. Light to medium body with lively carbonation. Moderate spicy sweet flavor with medium sweet & sour finish of short duration. Very refreshing.

22oz. bottle. Very funky smell to it, can’t put my finger on it exactly. Medium yellow pour, nice head. A little spice to the flavor, not anything like the smell, went down smooth though. Not great, but not horrible either.

Pours a apple juice copper hazy liquid with a fine white head. Nose is of esters and a little yeast. A little fizzy, yeasty and sharp. An off taste is present throughout. Body is maybe a little thin. the flavor is very off. I wonder if I had a bad bottle.

Courtesy of Gillard. Bomber pours musky non-potable hazy straw with a gold hue and white head. The aroma is big and bold Brett with tart funkiness and not much else. The taste is similar with tartness, young funk and some spice in the background. I don’t get much else. Later I had it on tap at the Oldsmar Tap House where it appeared to have a bit more complexity. I was getting a bit of sweet fruitiness that wasn’t noticed in the bottle.
