Tasted from bottle obtained in a trade. Pours cloudy orange with a thick beige head that lasts for quite a while but finally leaves heavy lace. I really like the nose, with heavy brett funk, light sour fruitiness, some hops, and an almost plastic band-aid aroma. The flavors are a little bit closer to a traditional IPA with the brett underlying. There is good citrus and malt flavor with a bitter finish, but the brett ties it all together. It is fairly full-bodied and somewhat sticky with somewhat lower than average carbonation and a long bitter/funky finish.

750ml bottle at the DC Local tasting. Pours a translucent orange with a cloudy white head. Aroma is tart, brett for sure, hay, grass, barnyard, dried hops, feet. Flavor is sweet, fruity, peaches, caramel, brown sugar, a little hop bitterness. Finish is slightly sweet, slightly funky.

UPDATED: JAN 24, 2013 The aroma of the infected yeast overpowers some citrus and pineapple notes. The brew pours golden orange with a very small head. The wild ale flavor from the yeast starts out strong and then leads to citrus flavors that settle with the hops on the tongue.

Thanks to Dosbeerigos for sharing this one. Been an IPA fan for quite some time and now just starting to get into sours. This one is the best of both worlds. Hazy pour with a thin bubbly head. The aroma has a hoppy sour funk to it, can’t really place all the aromas, but outstanding. Has a tart sour flavor, with a hoppy start with a bitter finish. Really enjoyed this one.

750ml caged and corked bottle. Thanks Josh for sharing. Poured a medium and cloudy amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of fukiness, brett, earthy, leather, floral, and citrus. Tastes of the same funk, floral, citrus, pine, and brett. This one was very nice.

Courtesy Beerlando. Hazy copper, cream carbonation. Nice combo of fruity, funky Brett and herbal, grassy, bitter hops. Dry, yeasty. Medium body, balanced. Great brew.

Golden amber color, cat pee and horse blanket, sour tart nose. Tons of funk. The hops and malt aren’t even present. The mouth is full and malty but the amount of Brett just dominates the entire profile. Some grapefruits, and caramel. Excellent bitterness. Excellent tart dry finish. Wow. Very idocratic. Interesting.

Hazy amber color with a small, egg shell colored head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of brett, wood, vanilla, floral hops, pine, caramel malts, and citrus. Taste of vanilla, citrus fruits, pine, tobacco, grapefruit, vanilla, brett, and wood, with a bit of alcohol too.

Deep amber pour. The nose is very, very Bretty and funky. Lots of heavy cologne along with a bright hoppiness. A bit of earthy/Brett richness. Fairly hoppy finish although it’s not got a lot of citrus… more spicy/noble. The hoppiness and the Brett works quite well together. Dry finish although there is a bit of resinousness that adds some chewiness.

750 ml bottle. Pours a hazy caramel with a medium sized off white head. Aroma of Brettanomyces yeast, floral hops and citrus. Taste dominated by Brett yeast with hints of citrus and floral tones. Nice.
