3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle: Amber, a little fiery, moderate to large frothy off-white head, spotty lacing. Tart nose, soft unripened fruity notes, fairly strong, funk, lacto, brett, all sorts of goodness. A bit more muted on the tongue, tart, bretty, with unripened fruit nose. The barrel aging is minor, albeit comes out a bit more as it warms. Finish is dry, with unripened fruit, and brett. Pretty simple, but clean, enjoyable... not sure if its worth the $20 price tag tho.
