Growler from Beer Run shared at the 17th Richmond Ratebeer Gathering, 1/28/12. Pours an almost murky brown with nearly no head. Aroma of big citrus notes, a bit of funk, caramel and earthy notes. The taste is caramel, butterscotch, green apple, bitter hops and earthy notes. Medium bodied with almost no carbonation.

Richmond 17th. Medium to light brown, tons of haze, no head. Carbonation is slight at best, and it apparently came this way as opposed to being a side effect of the growler fill. Aroma is mostly funk and light citrus. Flavor is essentially a match. All brett, no sourness. The brett and hops play relatively well together here, but I’m generally just not a fan of brett and big American hops.
