Jun 29, 2008 Tap at Capone’s. Pour was a cloudy light golden/straw color with a tiny white head. Aroma of some lemon zest and some strange floral aromas. Taste is of some citrus, a bit of sour funk, some interesting floral flavors and some other earthy/spice notes. Definitely interesting

Jun 29, 2008 Draft: hazy golden color, funky aroma - really smelled like a stank barn, taste is sour but not overwhelmingly so. I thought this was pretty good. I have a bottle here that I hope I can age a bit.

Jun 28, 2008 Once in a while, a beer comes along with an outrageous premise. Avery fifteen, with its use of figs, white pepper, hibiscus flowers, and 100% brettanomyces fermentation appears to be one such beer. I chose to pour it into a Duvel tulip, which it graced with clear, golden body, and a one to two finger thick head that faded over time. The smell was a mix of fruits like granny smith apples, papaya and cantaloupe, floral and herbal vegetable matter, and a milder than anticipated, but ever present funk. The taste was balanced between sour-tart and spicy-sweet. The pepper showed up only in the finish.I never did detect any fig. The mouthfeel was drying and refreshing. If I had not been told about the brewing with pure brett, I would never have guessed it. Not as wild as I have had before, but tasty nonetheless.

Jun 28, 2008 Pours a hazy amber color with a good amount of head on here. Alot of carbonation happening here. The aroma is sour funky smell. When I first took a whiff I thought it was more a spicy nutmeg smell. The taste is sour but with hints of a flowery spice. It has no after taste. For a sour beer this is pretty mild, one that I could enjoy again.

Jun 28, 2008 On tap. Poured a medium and hazy golden color with a small sized head. Aromas of citrus, some spiciness, and a little fruity. Tastes of fruitiness and some citrus. Light tart finish.

Jun 28, 2008 Bottle: The aroma is a combination of yeast, apple, banana, honey, and cinnamon. It initially pours a perfectly transparent golden-amber (apple juice) with a small white head that fades to a thin ring around the edges of the glass within a minute or so. However, the bottom of the bottle pours much more hazy. The flavor starts yeasty along with some figs. The finish has some faint bretty sour apple and lemon notes along with some floral bitterness and faint cinnamon. Light to medium bodied, with soft carbonation and slightly sticky mouthfeel. As it warms, bret presence slightly increases as does cinnamon, but a light alcohol presence becomes noticeable as well. Certainly not a world beater, but not even close to as bad as I’ve heard nor as bad as the ratings indicate.

does not count  Jun 28, 2008 22 oz. bomber. Pours a slightly clouded gold/amber color with a ginger ale head. Minimal lacing. Heavy green apple on the nose. Farmhouse funky on the tongue. Slight taste of figs (only noticed after I read it on the bottle though). Very much like a saison because of the wild yeast. Not my favorite style unfortunately but not terrible. Was expecting a little more from an anniversary brew.
