Jan 16, 2009 Big bottle shared around the table with my in-laws. Pours a cloudy golden. The general consensus from most of my family members that this smelled like a pig barn, with one person really getting a strong olive-like aroma too. I found that there was certainly a lot of bretty funk, along with sour grapes and apples. Palate is much in line with a sour ale style: sweet-sour fruit, musty corky yeast, and a grapeseed bitterness in the end. Complex and very well done, and certainly a conversation starter among non-RB friends and family!

Jun 19, 2008 wow, crazy smell...American wild ale fits this brew ... very funky, sour, tangy , insane? ... is refreshing and strange but weirdly refined and funky .. Great outside the box thinking that makes me as happy as firing off some knuckle children early in the morning... Very nice stuff!

Aug 16, 2008 On tap at the Trappist. Very nice, mellow Belgian ale. You can taste the light barnyard funk in the background from the brettanomyces, but instead of a sour flavor this ale has a nice, light sweet flavor going on. Pours cloudy golden with white head. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to start getting into sours.

Aug 18, 2008 Light orangey-rose color with white head. Definite farmhouse aroma, with something different...hibiscus maybe. Moderately carbonated with a medium body. Very spicey (not picante), peppery. Subtle stone fruit flavors with light tartness. Very drinkable.

May 14, 2008 Updated: May 29, 2008Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX.
Poured a hazy gold with fizzy white head. Aroma was very nice, very fruity, rasberries, cranbeeries, and other things I can’t identify, I think an acidic quality, could be the barnyard they mentioned...maybe just from the fruit, but I like the funky aroma. Flavor is very nice!!!! When you take a drink, you get the acidic fumes as well....Very nice citric tart, very light sweet malty taste. It is somewhat complex to me, slight alcohol spice. Palate is very nice, seems soft and crisp with medium-high carbonation....I really liked this....If this is whats capable with wild yeast, I will have to try and make this too.....

Oct 22, 2009 Has an initial aroma of fruit, presumably the fig, followed up with an odd aroma. Figure its probably the "wet blanket" aroma associated with the brettanomyces.
Has a very fruity flavor with some hints of green olive which strengthens in the end. Not much malt or hop flavor seemed to come through for me. Has a good level of carbonation. Doesn’t seem to have much head retention. Pours very hazy copper.
