3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle at the Bayou. Pours a mostly clear golden/copper hue with a medium white head. A big sweaty nose with some funk. The flavor is a bit thin, some lemon, more dusty funk, light sourness, decent.

On tap at Apex, pours a clear golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, pepper, some spices and apples. Flavour brings out apples upfront, Belgian yeast and some muted spicy notes. Well-balanced and a bit unorthodox. Not the greatest, but still decent.

I like this. Normally a Brett beer can come off tasting or smelling like bathroom cleaner sometimes but this was the right amount to taste like a lambic but not be a lambic. Good balance and enjoyable for a night cap.

2013-02-02. Hazy golden amber small white head. 3+ Sweet pale malt, sort of and odd yeasty quality. Bit like wet dog? Though not so unpleasant! Average bodied palate. 3+ Similar muddled pale malt and yeast in the flavour. Okay. I think we had the Demon Fish version but I am not sure. Bottle at Sourfest, Buffalo
""Your Mom smells like Panil!"
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle 2012. Clear light yellow with a big white frothy head that dissipates eventually. The aroma is light sweet citrus, pears, some funk, and yeast. The flavor is balanced light sweetness, slight sourness, and long herbal bitterness. There’s a slight back of the throat tickle after a watery start. With this was better. It’s good but fairly innocuous.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Whole Foods, Bowery 11.2oz ($5): Pours hazy orange with a white head. Aroma is slightly that of a sour ale, except with a good amount of more malt, along with some juicy smells. Taste is slightly sour. It is also a tad bit spicy. A wee bit sweet. Doesn’t really taste like a wild ale or sour ale. It isn’t bad, but it isn’t really too impressive. It seems like it doesn’t know where it wants to go and what it wants to be.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
At the Co-Op via Shelton. Enjoyed at 60F in a wine glass
A - Bright golden with a 3 finger fluffy white head. Very sticky lacing.
S - Mild brettanomyces funk on the nose. Apples and oak as well.
T - Taste is mild peppercorn and cloves, apples and pears with lovely brett dry funk finish. I’m getting some banana runts in here but not much.
M - Medium body, lovely pillow like carbonation and seems to last forever
O - Great beer. Solid and drinkable.
