500ml bottle - shared by the Quebec posse in Lithuania - thanks!
Slightly funky, but to me more spicy aroma. Soft and smooth, some dry bitterness. Full palate, very yeasty. Looked a bit home-brewy. Finish has a gentle bite of hops, but also some alcohol.

bottle from grand-duc A: brett character is upfront, with some subtle spiciness in the back. Some fruitiness pear. App: it ’s clear light copper with huge with head. T/P: light body finish is acidic and medium long. High carbonation. O: Love it a lot... i’m a brett fan. It’s offstyle of course but still is pretty good. I should have bought more.

On tap at brewpub. Waitress seemed hesitant to serve it, said it was better if I tasted it first. Got my doubtful, but in the end, it was essentially a spicy, fruity, strong and warm tripel. Quite good!

500 ml bottle from Broue Ha Ha, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass.

App.: Cloudy deep golden with a fluffy white head. Aroma: Spicy and funky, bitter green herbals, has some Brett to it, a lot in fact. Palate: Medium body, soft, fluffy effervescence. Flav.: Plenty of funk, citrus, spiciness, some yeast and wheat, lots of bitter greens, odd; dry with unbalanced bitterness and a kind of abrupt, spicy, funky finish.

Interesting attempt. Doesn’t work for me.

Bouteille 500ml. De couleur dorée-orange et voilée. Nez de levures sauvages, fruitées (agrumes, léger de pêche), légèrement épicées (coriandre, traces de poivre), aux notes terreuses et boisées (bois humide), moyen de houblon très floral et légèrement herbeux (herbes fraîches), léger de céréales avec des notes de pain. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture très légèrement crémeuse et aux petites notes huileuses. Goût très légèrement sûr de levures sauvages, fruitées (agrumes sûrs, notes de pêche, quelques traces de mangues), légèrement épicées (coriandre, traces de poivre doux) et aux notes terreuses lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute rapidement une légère amertume de houblon floral (fleurs fraîchement cueillies) ainsi qu’un léger goût de pain et des notes de céréales sucrées puis en finale la douce amertume de houblon prend un ton plus sec et légèrement herbeux (herbes fraîches). Post-goût moyen-long et un peu sec, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux et floral avec un goût de levures fruitées (zeste d’agrumes).

Bottle - 500ml. beautiful cloudy golden body with heavy carbonation and a huge, lasting white foamy head. Fresh hoppy aroma with coriander, spicy, and malty/grainy hints. its sharp hoppy taste carries coriander, citrusy and grainy notes. Ends with a strong, long bitter/herbal finish.

Pours a cloudy light gold with a big frothy white head and a lasting lace. Aroma is yeasty with some floral hops. Taste is lemon citrus, yeast, small hop bitterness and a little funk. But a whole lot of floral, almost like taking a Febreeze shot in the mouth. Very enjoyable though.

500 ml bottle purchased at Peluso (Montreal) on February 12, 2012. Blonde misty cream, good head. Hop aroma of sour citrus, slightly spicy. Citrus hop taste, very sour Brett, aftertaste of dry grass. A very good less than 9% triple!

Bottle: Poured a hazy orangey color ale with a super large foamy head with great retention and some very good lacing. Aroma of Brett and dry hops notes with light funky ester is quite wonderful. Taste is also a exquisite mix between some Brett notes with light barnyard notes which are well balance with some dry floral hoppy notes. Malt is semi-sweet and doesn’t take away too much form the wonderful aroma of hops and Brett but act as a solid backbone. Another wonderful treat from Boquebiere.

Une robe orangée soumise au désordre de la tempête. Un pannus qui se gonfle en écume impassible. Des parfums de Chypre et des environs. Des pétales de rose et les murmures des aryballes. Les mouvements délicats de ses voiles qui s’exécutent en échos magnifiés. Corinthe la noble et ses parfumeurs. Le Pajottenland dans tous ses états. Les reliefs cyrilliques de Santa Rosa. La splendeur et le rutilement de ses Cantons. Une fin habitée par le furieux clapotement de ses lèvres qui doucement assèchent les brumes violettes.
