Jul 2, 2008 Draft. Hazy gold color with small head. Lively carbonation. Aroma was malty with light fruity notes with large sour brett notes. The taste was the same with light sweetness in the finish. The finish was lightly sweet, bready malt,and brett.

May 16, 2008 Nice look to this pour and a lasing head, plenty of lacing, etc. etc. The failing of this otherwise rustic, pleasant farmhouse style ale is that it tries way to hard to be an authentic version of something that, if it tries to hard to be anything, can’t be authentic. God love Avery, but the hazelnut, horsey malts and yeast are lost in a netherland of generic herb and overstrong spicy pepper. I wanted a more relaxed saison feel from this beer and didn’t get it. Maybe it needs aging, maybe I do, but I just didn’t connect with this effort.

Mar 21, 2009 Really? Only a 3.19? Huh. Pours a lightly slightly hazed yellowish with a not so impressible thin white film head. The nose is bretty, very. Drier pineapple, definitely not as sweet smelling as most Avery beers. Like a low hopped Orval... but there’s something slightly peaty, or maybe that’s just antiseptic. The mouthfeel is thinner, though not watery, with low carbonation. The flavor is in line with the nose, very Bretty, perhaps a bit peaty, oddly. Fruity and dry, though not all the way dried out like this beer will be soon enough. Refreshing, slightly tart. I’d like to see how this shapes up.

Sep 5, 2008 22 ounce bottle split in Duvel glass. Clear golden orange with flat white head in just-rinsed glass. Funky white wine mead and spicy farts aroma. Sweet and fruity melon honey anise flavors with spciy carbonated funky brett finish. Medium body, medium high carbonation. I like the funkiness. I am not a huge Avery fan but I like this one a lot. I am getting more and more into funk. This may not be as good as Jolly Pumpkin Oro or Interlude, but it is pretty good in its own right and definitely underrated, I think.

May 12, 2008 Pours cloudy yellow, without much head. Aroma is wonderfully complex with wood (hickory, maple), and banana scents. Flavor is pretty sour malt with some dark fruit flavors, and burnt wood finish. Mouthfeel is medium and finish is pucker sour, but kinda in a rotten good way.

Jun 19, 2008 Standard hazy golden with white head. Sweet and tartish pineapple, cherries, and rotting apples in both aroma and taste. Quite good, and certainly funky, but has some cloying aspects to the finish.

Jul 19, 2008 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.
