Handbottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma has notes of malt, wood, brettanomyce, and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, brettanomyces, and caramel, leading to a lightly acidic brett finish. Nice. Thanks a lot MadsBerg for sharing.

Hand bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of madsberg. pours golden with a slight haze and a creamy off-white head leaving laces. Spicy, exotic nose. Medium body, fruity, tart and surprisingly salty. Again exotic fruits. Dry finish with no real bitterness - a little astringent and leathery. 161209

@Tampa Wkly Gathering-1Qt growler–Thanks markwise-pours a white ring for a head and cloudy gold color. Aroma is tart, guava. Taste is tart, guava, light malt, earthy.

Growler pour courtesy of markwise. Pours hazy brown-gold with modest opacity and white head. The aroma is full and quite yummy with guava tropical fruitiness, some modest smooth pepper notes, newly ripe cherry fruit must, raisins and spices like cinnamon. Wow. Cool flavor. The taste begins with a mild pulse of guava fruit and malt sweetness followed by wavy undulating tall earthiness. Those notes get accompanied by berry fruitiness, grainy malts and assorted spices. I love the nearly bright near ripe red berriness mixing with gludgy wet earthiness. Very cool, very different, very refreshing and very good.

Thanks to kiefdog for sharing the growler. Pours hazy amber yellow with a white head. It is guava grove, so it is an energetic head. Nose is fruit: guava and slight grape, pepper, spice, light fruit, and saison malt. Flavor is the same with grapey, peppery goodness. Pepper slides down the palate and is noticeable at the back of the swallow when searched for. Interesting twist on a great beer.

Grolwer courtesy cmillward. pours a very cloudy, golden orange color topped by a small, off white layer of foam that settles to a thin film leaving spots of lace behind. The aroma shows notes of the fruity guava, pepper spices, and some tart grape skins from the scuppernong grapes. The grapes add a bretty like quality to go with the yeast that is already present. The flavor follows with the sweetness from the guava and tartness from the grapes blending nicely to go with the pepper spices on the backend. Medium bodied with balanced carbonation that leads to a dry, tart finish. This is a really nice treatment, but the bottle is still top notch in my book.

Growler… October ‘09 O-Town Throwdown!… Murky peach-colored ale with a small, creamy, white head. The aroma is fruity and a smidge lactic with a healthy note of toffee. Medium-bodied with a milky mouthfeel and soft carbonation. The flavor is mainly fruity and tart with just a whisper of peppery flavor and even a rumor of peppery heat in the finish.
