Garrett Oliver beer dinner in Hillerød. Slightly cloudy golden beer with a lasting white head. Aroma has a rather strong bourbon and oak character, of the coconut kind. Spicy and fruity base beer aroma, and a little funk too. Dry fruity beer with an overwhelming bourbon character. I would love to have it again when the bourbon has mellowed and the brett has taken more charge.

Bottle. Pours hazy orange with a white head. Bourbon aroma up front, with light fruity notes, spices, and a hint of tart fruit. the flavor has bourbon sweetness, sweet caramel malt, fruity and spicy yeast, just a touch of bretty funk, light tartness, and lightly toasted malts. Good shit.

Local 1 with brett and barrel aged. Yellow with white head. Aroma is carribean oranges, pineapple, banana and the flavor follows. Bourbon is present certainly.

The aroma is funk, sour, bourbon. The appearance is hazy orange gold white head. The flavor is sweet, tart cherry, funk, bourbon- nice. The finish is tart cherries, pine hops. Medium in body. Awesome.

Fantastic. Pours a cloudy orange with a dense white head. Complex nose of bourbon, ginger, cloves and zesty citrus. Sweet vanilla and light sourness combine perfectly. Great beer

Bottle. Pours a golden body with a white head and light retention. Light honey and vanilla tones. Oak and leather white hints of etoh warming. Light bourbon apricots, and a wood y and vanilla finish. Nice offering.

Bottle. Poured a light golden amber. Nose is yeasty hint of sour. Sour note is light and compiments as opposed to overpoweres. Some sweetnes with nice carbonation. 

A little pre-lunch taste at HopCat before going on a cellar tour. Hazy golden pour with a thick white head. The nose is softly spicy with a kiss of light bretty minerality. A touch of honey and light lemon peel as well. Soft hoppiness with a little bit of brett character. It still has the honeyish palate of the regular local 1 coming through. Soft and chewy with a lightly lingering herbal character. A bit of soft yeasty spice on the finish. It’s pretty tasty, but the "wildness" is pretty subdued. A little bit of light tartness on the finish.

750ml bottle @Jimmack Invitational thanks Pat–pours a thin white head and hazy gold color. Aroma is light malt, yeast-brett. Taste is light malt, yeast-brett, fruit, herbal hops.

Bottled. An unclear light golden beer with an off-white head. The aroma has notes of malt, fruit, and spices. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, spices, lemon, and alcohol.

bottle at HopCat for RBSG’10 - spicey, caramel, funky and sour tartness. Smooth body and tasty. bready malts, citrusy, orange and lemon. Some dry, musty notes. Touch of oaky wood on the finish.
