Apr 26, 2009 Pour is cloudy yellow with a creamy head. Good lacing. Smells lightly of a fruity yeast, lemon most likely from the hibiscus and lots of honey. A nice feel, thin but not watery. Taste is earthy like swiss chard or beets; some spice: star anise, cinnamon; and a slight sweetness.

Apr 24, 2009 Updated: Apr 30, 2009Oh bring us some figgy pudding! I liked this weird beer. It isn’t too often that you get fig in your beer. I really thought it was a gutsy, yet interesting effort. That is what you should do with anniversary beers...take a chance.

Apr 21, 2009 22oz. bomber: This one poured a clear, golden yellow color. There was a decent white head on it that didn’t linger long. Lighter aroma. Grassy, floral and some fruit notes. A hint of sourness in there too. A slightly somewhat lighter body, with definitely a taste of brett. Interesting mix. There seems to be many subtle flavors to this the more you drink. Some lighter fruits, with a hint of pepper. Not bad.

Apr 19, 2009 Big bottle. Big starting head quickly fades. Hazy dark yellow. The Flames loose game one against Chicago. Big Brett nose full of funkiness. Big Brett mouthfeel with hibiscus esthers around the edges. Big Brett bounce at the finish and then pepper at the back of the tongue in the aftertaste. Strong brett and even stronger pepper.

Apr 4, 2009 Bomber. Beer is slightly cloudy, medium amber-orange colored. Head is initially large, white, frothy. Diminishes mostly but stays as a creamy frothy thin lid.
The aroma is wild, sweet, fruity. Malty with moderate notes of cookie, toasted bread, lighter note of creamy caramel; Moderate lemon zest hop flare, lighter background of herb; Moderately/heavily yeasty with Bret notes of horse blanket and barn yard, band-aid, lesser note of bubble gum; Moderately vinous with a note of dried current
The flavor is moderately acidic/juicy/dry, lightly bittersweet. The finish is moderately long, lightly acidic and trace bitter. Yeasty notes from the aroma linger back in the retronasals.
The body is medium, the texture is watery and the carbonation is average/lively.
Plenty going on to sniff around at, but not really a stopper.

Mar 31, 2009 I was lucky to get to try a bottle early thanks to a friend. The label says 100% brett so I was expecting some funk and was not disappointed. The color was a hazy orange with a good head. It smelled funky, some grassy hay. The first taste was very funky and strange like grilled pork-fat. That may sound weird but it was good. As it warmed it became more of a spicy saison with funk. I’ll be looking to grab a couple bottles for aging purposes.

Aroma,not much goin on here.Mild yeast and flowers. Dryish body with a slightly fruity , mostly apricot, light bodied. Not impressed. They could have done much better with an anniversary beer.
