On tap @ Crooked Stave ROY-G-BIV Day. Pour is murky amber in appearance with a big cream-colored head and decent lacing. Big bretty aroma - rose hips, somewhat tangy, fruity, pears, green apples, and sweet tarts. Taste is Bretty, band-aid, hibiscus, flower petals, green apples, lemon, somewhat doughy, bread, and straw with a dry, tannic finish. Medium body with almost no carbonation. I think this one was a little better fresh in my opinion.

Bottle shared with Adam in NH - big thanks, amigo. After a strong initial gush, the beer pours murky gold with a faint, white cream head. Big funky aroma, hints of plastic. Light to medium sweet flavor, damn funky, with some of that Band-Aid character. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Moderately tart to finish, decent balance. Good.

Acquired in a trade a long time ago. 75CL in a wine glass. Total BS gusher! Lost half of the bottle which came all over my floor which is really pissing me off! !!!!!!!! />
A - Due to gushing, the yeast really changed the appearance of this beer. Looks like mushed raspberry soup, no head, still and murky red.

S - TONS of brett on the nose with cherries and cranberries

T - Oak, earthy, dry and funky. Not a ton of floral characters. Bit of a disappointment compared to indigo

M - Medium body, tons of carbonation, tingling floral sensation.

O - This is still a great beer but the gushing of it is upsetting. Either way, enjoyable but indigo is better.

Bottle. Red golden-orange colour with an off-white head. Aroma is berries, brett, flower, malt, yeast, lemon. Flavour is the same. Nice beer.

From notes, sours tasting at Samy’s. Poured a cloudy amber with a nice flowery aroma. Flavours of tropical fruit and berries, slight sour notes. Nice brew to start the evening.

750ml bottle $12.99. Cloudy pink color, really interesting, decent foamy head with lacing. Smells like Brett, rustic and farm-like. The flavor was heavy Brett but also had a sweetness, maybe that was the hawthorn berries? Either way I liked this one more than the pure guava petite sour, enjoyable.

Bottle, 75cl. A gusher, producing a collapsing off-white head over an unclear, orange colored body. The aroma is fruity and lightly yeasty, with something rose-like and a bretty touch. It’s quite effervescent, medium bodied and dry. The flavor is very flowery and quite sourish, with funky hints and some lemon and generic fruityness. Lasting flowery finish. Well, it certainly didn’t do anything special for me, but it’s a quite pleasant beer anyway. 121109
